FERRIS WHEEL The Ferris wheel at an amusement park has a radius of 10.2 meters. A rider, who is sitting level with the center of

the Ferris wheel, is 13.1 meters above the ground. At what height above the ground is the rider when the wheel rotates another 140°? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer:

19.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a circle to represent the ferris wheel with a 10.2 m radius. Draw a horizontal line through the circle center horizontal to the ground (at 13.1 m). Now draw a line from the center of the circle (ferris wheel) upward at 140 degrees until you reach the edge of the circle. Draw a line down from that point to the horizontal line at This is your right triangle to solve.

Hypotenuse is 10.2 m (radius of circle)

The angle of the triangle the supplementary angle of 140 degrees. 180-140=40 degrees

sin 40 degrees=rise /radius=rise/10.2

sin 40=0.6428=rise/10.2

rise=10.2(0.6428)

rise=6.6 m

13.1+6.6=19.7 m

Turn 7/16 into a percent
kramer
To do this first we will take the fraction and turn it into decimal form. To do this we will divide the numerator and the denominator. 

7 ÷ 16 = <span>0.4375

Now to take it to percent form we will multiply by 100.

0.4375 </span>× 100 = 43.75%

So, 7/16 turned into a percentage would be 43.75%

Hope I helped ya!!

Please help!! Urgent! Due soon! - A bedroom is initially squat-shaped with each side x feet long. The room is then expanded so t
Masja [62]

Answer:

The second one; x²+7x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since the beginning lengths of the square is x and x, the area of the square is x².

But then, you add 3 to one length, so that side is now (x+3), and then you add 4 to the width, so that is now (x+4).

Finally, you would multiply them together to get the equation you would use to find the new area.

For this, you would cross-multiply everything together; the x in the length by the x in the width, the x in the length by the 4 in the width, the 3 in the length by the x in the width, and then the 3 in the length by the 4 in the width. Now, all you have to do is add all of these together to get your answer.

Here's the work:

(x+3)(x+4)\\x^{2}+3x+4x+12\\x^{2}+7x+12

1) 2x + 8y = 20 what's the solution so confused <br> y = 2
postnew [5]
If y is equal to 2 then you can find x by putting 2 for y so you will have:
2x + 8(2) = 20 
2x + 16 = 20 
2x = 20 - 16
2x = 4 
x = 4/2 
x=2 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
