As given that
∠ASB = 126º, making the angular measure of the intercepted arc:
so 

<span>∠ACB = 180º - 126º = 54º = 3π/10 
so correct option is D
hope it helps</span>

Answer:

Option D. 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of the earth as shown in figure attached.

Angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is angle PSQ = 126°

As we know from outside angle theorem formed by tangents

m∠PSQ + m(minor arc PQ) = 180°

126° + m(PQ) = 180°

m(PQ) = 180 - 126 = 54°

Therefore answer is length of the intercepted arc will be 54°

Option D. 54° is the correct option

Given: KLMN is a trapezoid m∠N = m∠KML ME ⊥ KN , ME = 3 5 , KE = 8, LM KN = 3 5 Find: KM, LM, KN, Area of KLMN
prisoha [69]
A) Find KM∠KEM is a right angle hence ΔKEM is a right angled triangle Using Pythogoras' theorem where the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the adjacent sides we can answer the 
KM² = KE² + ME²KM² = 8² + (3√5)²       = 64 + 9x5KM = √109KM = 10.44
b)Find LMThe ratio of LM:KN is 3:5 hence if we take the length of one unit as xlength of LM is 3xand the length of KN is 5x ∠K and ∠N are equal making it a isosceles trapezoid. A line from L that cuts KN perpendicularly at D makes KE = DN
KN = LM + 2x 2x = KE + DN2x = 8+8x = 8LM = 3x = 3*8 = 24
c)Find KN Since ∠K and ∠N are equal, when we take the 2 triangles KEM and LDN, they both have the same height ME = LD.
∠K = ∠N  Hence KE = DN the distance ED = LMhence KN = KE + ED + DN since ED = LM = 24and KE + DN = 16KN = 16 + 24 = 40
d)Find area KLMNArea of trapezium can be calculated using the  formula below Area = 1/2 x perpendicular height between parallel lines x (sum of the parallel sides)substituting values into the general equationArea = 1/2 * ME * (KN+ LM)          = 1/2 * 3√5 * (40 + 24)         = 1/2 * 3√5 * 64         = 3 x 2.23 * 32         = 214.66 units²

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h. How long will it take the object to travel 1 4/5?
professor190 [17]

The object needs 10.58 minutes to travel 1 4/5 if the object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the distance between two items or locations. Distance refers to a physical length or an approximation based on other physics or common usage considerations.

It is given that:

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.

u = 10 1/5 min/h

u = 51/5 min/h

As we know, the speed-distance relationship:

time = distance/speed

distance = 1 4/5 = 9/5

time = (9/5)/(51/5)

time = 9/51 hours

time = (9/51)60

time = 10.58 minutes

Thus, the object needs 10.58 minutes to travel 1 4/5 if the object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.

a straight trail with a uniform inclination of 11 degrees from a lodge at an elevation of 700 feet to a mountain lake at an elev
kozerog [31]

Answer:

r = 38584.155\,ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the trail is obtained by the definition of sine, where height is the opposite leg and length is the hypotenuse:

\tan 11^{\textdegree} = \frac{8200\,ft-700\,ft}{r}

The length of the trail is:

r = 38584.155\,ft

What is the ratio of boys to girls in Mrs. Carlton's class, which has a total of 31 students, 14 of whom are girls?
saw5 [17]

Answer:

17:14 or 17 to 14

Step-by-step explanation:

since you know there are 14 girls, subtract 14 from 31 and then you'll get 17. since its asking for a ratio of boys to girls not girls to boys, you put boys first, then girls. so your answer will be 17:14
