Answer:
420 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to be infinitely far away from a sphere in order to see exactly 50% of its surface all at the same moment. Using simple geometry, you can prove that an observer that is a distance d away from the surface of a sphere with radius R can only see a percent area A of the sphere's surface as given by the equation:
A = 50%/(1+R/d)
Where A is the area seen,
R is the earth's radius 4000 miles
And D is the distance above the earth 200 miles
50% = 0.5 in fraction
Substituting values we have
A = 0.5(1 + 4000/200)
A = 0.5(1 + 20) = 0.5 x 21
A = 10.5%
10.5% of 4000 miles = 420 miles.
Answer:
Cross sections perpendicular to the base and through the vertex will be triangles. Below, you can see a plane cutting through the pyramid, part of the pyramid removed, and the cross section. You could also take a slice parallel to the base. Cross sections parallel to the base will be hexagons.

<u>Answers</u>
19 fiction books
7 nonfiction books
<u>Explanation</u>
x + y = 26 ............................................. (i)
x – y = 12 ............................................ (ii)
Elliot added the two equations and the result was
2x = 38.
Dividing both sides by 2;
x = 19
There are 19 fiction books.
Substituting x in equation (i),
x + y = 26 when x = 19
19 + y = 26
y = 26 - 19
= 7
There are 7 nonfiction books
Look at the graph picture I attached
c is the intercept, which is why the graph crosses the y-axis at +3
to find where it crosses the x-axis, we make y = 0
