An ant on the ground is 22 feet from the foot of a tree. She looks up at a bird at the top of the tree, and her line of sight makes 30 degrees with the ground. How far is she from the top of the tree? (Hint: Find x.)
33.6 feet
B, because the mid segment is half the length of the third side
Answer:
<em>L = 24,873.6 miles</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Length of the Circumference</u>
Given a circle of radius r, the length of the circumference, or line surrounding the shape is:
The Earth has a diameter of 7,917.5 miles. The radius is half the diameter:
r=7,917.5/2=3,958.75 miles
Assuming a plane flies around the equator at ground level, the distance it would travel is:
L = 24,873.6 miles
