Answer:

<em>The person on the ship can see the lighthouse </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Circle Function </u>

A circle centered in the point (h,k) with a radius r can be written as the equation

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Any point (x,y) can be known if it's inside of the circle if

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2\leq r^2

The question is about a beam of a lighthouse than can be seen for up to 20 miles. If we assume the lighthouse is emitting the beam as the shape of a circle centered in (0,0), then its radius is 20 miles. Thus any person riding a ship inside the circle can see the lighthouse. This means that

x^2+y^2\leq 20^2

x^2+y^2\leq 400

The ship's coordinates respect to the lighthouse are (10,16). We should test the point to verify if the above inequality stands

10^2+16^2\leq 400

356 \leq 400

The inequality is true, so the person on the ship can see the lighthouse

The ball bearing have volumes of 1.6cm cube and 5.4cm cube . Find the ratio of their surface area.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

  4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor for the linear dimensions of the ball bearings will be the cube root of the volume scale factor:

  k = ∛(1.6/5.4) = 2/3

Then the scale factor for the areas will be the square of this scale factor:

  ratio of surface area = (2/3)² = 4/9

_____

The area is the product of two linear dimensions, so its scale factor is the product of the linear dimension scale factors. That is, the scale factor for area is the square of the linear dimension scale factor.

Similarly, volume is the product of three linear dimensions, so its scale factor is the cube of the linear dimension scale factor.

A rectangular board is 1.6 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. What is the area of the board in square millimeters? Do not round yo
Arisa [49]
<h2>Area of rectangular board is 1920000 square millimeters</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular board is 1.6 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

Here we need to find the area of the board in square millimeters.

Length = 1.6 m= 1.6 x 1000 = 1600 mm

Width = 1.2 m= 1.2 x 1000 = 1200 mm

Area = Length x Width

Area = 1600 x 1200

Area = 1920000 square millimeters

Area of rectangular board is 1920000 square millimeters
