<h3>Answer:  1589.65 miles</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

The degree of separation from the two cities is 30-7 = 23 degrees.

Let's say the point C is at the center of the earth. This would mean angle BCA is 23 degrees.

Any longitude line helps form what is known as a great circle or orthodrome. This is a math term that describes a circle that is centered at the same location as the sphere's center. Imagine that you can wrap a string around the earth and this string only follows this particular longitude line. This string is effectively a vertical equator in a way. The question is: what is the length of this string?

Well that would be the circumference of the circle with radius 3960 miles because the longitudinal circle has the same radius as the sphere.

That approximates to...

C = 2*pi*r

C = 2*pi*3960

C = 24,881.4138164311

C = 24,881.41

So a bit less than 25 thousand miles. I used the calculator's stored version of pi rather than something like 3.14 to get the best accuracy possible. This is the full string's length if we want to travel the entire distance around the globe but stay entirely on this particular longitude line

We don't want the full string's length. Instead, we want just a fractional portion of it. Specifically, we want 23/360 of it because of the central angle of 23 degrees. This will give us the distance between the two cities.

So (23/360)*24,881.4138164311 = 1,589.64588271642

This then rounds to 1589.65 when rounding to the nearest hundredth.

The distance between the two cities is approximately 1589.65 miles

This is comparable to the driving distance from Los Angeles, CA to Houston, TX (approximately 1547 miles).

Dennis_Churaev [7]
The answer is Section A. has 25,000 seats,section B. has 12,500 seats and section C. has 12,500 seats.

How I got to the answer.
I divided 50,000÷4=12,500 then I multiplied 12,500×2=25,000.
I hope this helps.

Which statement about the polynomial function g(x) is true?
yKpoI14uk [10]

When leading coefficient is 1 , the root will be an integer for g(x) = 0

Option 4 is the right answer.

<h3>What is a Polynomial Function ?</h3>

Functions of independent variable in which the variable can appear more than once with different powers.

\rm g(x) = a_n x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + ................+ a_o

Let this represents the polynomial function

where \rm a_n \; is\;the \;leading \; coefficient \; a_o \; is \;the\;last \;term

Then the according to rational root theorem ,

The root of the function is given by

\rm \dfrac{p}{q} = \dfrac{factor \;of\; the\; last\; term}{factor \;of \;the\; leading coefficient}

So when leading coefficient is 1 , the root will be an integer for g(x) = 0

Option 4 is the right answer.
