You fly a hot air balloon 0.5 miles above the ground. What is the measure of BD⌢, the portion of Earth that you can see? Round y
our answer to the nearest tenth. (Earth's radius is approximately 4000 miles.)

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need the angle CAD, which can then be used to calculate the arc BD.
From definition of cosine,
cos(x) = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos(x) = AD / AC = 4000 / 4000.5 = 0.9998750156230471
The inverse function gives
x = arccosine (4000/4000.5)
= arccosine (0.9998750156230471)
= 0.01581056485742214 radians = 0.9058786380481468 degrees
Radius of the earth, r = 4000 miles
Arc BD = 2 time arc subtended by angle x
= 2 (rx) where x is in radians
= 2*4000*0.01581056485742214
= 126.48 miles (to two decimal places)

Answer:
Q1. 13 passengers
Q2. 0.1756 (approx. 0.18)
Step-by-step explanation:
Q1. 267 seats are available on the plane
5% is expected to fail to show up
Hence, no of passengers expected not to show up = 267 * 0.05
= 13.35 (approx 13 passengers)

Answer:
Option B. is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39
To find: number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million
Solution:
The regression equation determined the specific relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
To find number of representatives for Oregon, which has a population of about 3.3 million, put in the regression equation is y = 1.73 x + 0.39
So, 6 representatives for Oregon has a population of about 3.3 million
Option B. is correct
