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.

The function f(x)=−2(0.25)x+1 is shown. Select from the drop-down menus to correctly describe the end behavior of f(x).
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Q1

cos 59° = x/16

x = 16 cos 59°

x = 8.24

Q2

BC is given 23 mi

Maybe AB is needed

AB = √34² + 23² = 41 (rounded)

Q3

BC² = AB² - AC²

BC = √(37² - 12²) = 35

Q4

Let the angle is x

cos x = 19/20

x = arccos (19/20)

x = 18.2° (rounded)

Q5

See attached

Added point D and segments AD and DC to help with calculation

BC² = BD² + DC² = (AB + AD)² + DC²

Find the length of added red segments

AD = AC cos 65° = 14 cos 65° = 5.9

DC = AC sin 65° = 14 sin 65° = 12.7

Now we can find the value of BC

BC² = (19 + 5.9)² + 12.7²

BC = √781.3

BC = 28.0 yd

All calculations are rounded
