To solve the question, we draw a circle representing a great-circle section of the earth, with satellite at a point S above earth. Draw tangents from S to he circle, and from points A and B, to the center C.
Hence:
AC and BC are radii, and
SA⊥AC and SB⊥BC
∠ASB=154°
making the angular measure of the intercepted arc:
∠ACB=180-154=26°

Answer: 26°

noname [10]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are

H_0: \mu\ge 215\\\\H_1: \mu< 215

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a hypothesis test, we can reject or not reject the null hypothesis.

To conclude that the tires have a decreased stopping distance (μ<215), we should state the null hypothesis H_0: \mu\ge 215 and then go on with the analysis to reject it (or not).

If the null hypothesis is rejected, the claim of the manufacturer is rigth.

The alternative hypothesis would be H_1: \mu, that would turn rigth if the null hypothesis is rejected.

Ethan bought 4 packages of pencils. After he gave 8 pencils to his friends, he had 40 pencils
LiRa [457]

He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.

Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.

To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.

To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.

Each package contained 12 pencils.

Hope this helps
