Answer:

  • radius: 1460 mi
  • circumference: 9174 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angle of elevation at point B is 7.4°, then the sun is 90° -7.4° = 82.6° from the vertical. This is the measure of the central angle between the two points. That represents a fraction of a circle that is ...

  82.6°/360° = 413/1800 ≈ 0.229444...(repeating)

The relation between the given distance and the circumference is ...

  0.294444C = 2105 mi

  C = 2105 mi/0.294444 ≈ 9174 mi

The radius of the spherical planet is this divided by 2π:

  r = C/(2π) = 9174 mi/(2π) ≈ 1460 mi

The radius of the planet is about 1460 miles; the circumference is about 9174 miles.

18 questions answered correctly on a test. that is 75% of the total number of questions. How many questions were on the test?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

24 = questions on test

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions answered correctly = questions on test * percent answered correctly


We know that she answered 18 correctly and that 75% were answered correctly

Substitute this information into the equation

18 = questions on test *.75

Divide by .75 on each side

18/.75 = questions on test *.75/.75

24 = questions on test

60 POINTS PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT 1. Write a quadratic equation that can be solved by factoring. Solve your equation and show and
Vika [28.1K]

you have a quadratic equation that can be factored, like x2+5x+6=0.This can be factored into(x+2)(x+3)=0.

So the solutions are x=-2 and x=-3.

2. 

<span><span>1. Try first to solve the equation by factoring.  Be sure that your equation is in standard form (ax2+bx+c=0) before you start your factoring attempt.  Don't waste a lot of time trying to factor your equation; if you can't get it factored in less than 60 seconds, move on to another method.
</span><span>2. Next, look at the side of the equation containing the variable.  Is that side a perfect square?  If it is, then you can solve the equation by taking the square root of both sides of the equation.  Don't forget to include a ± sign in your equation once you have taken the square root.
3.</span>Next, if the coefficient of the squared term is 1 and the coefficient of the linear (middle) term is even, completing the square is a good method to use.
4.<span>Finally, the quadratic formula will work on any quadratic equation.  However, if using the formula results in awkwardly large numbers under the radical sign, another method of solving may be a better choice.</span></span>

Identifying the Constant of Proportionality - Video & Lesson ... The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. In our tomato example, that ratio is $3.00/2, which equals $1.50. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate.
