The earth is approximately circular in cross​ section, with a circumference at the equator of 24 comma 882 miles. suppose two ro

pes are used to create two concentric​ circles: one by wrapping a rope around the equator and another using a rope 48 ft longer than the first rope. how much space is between the two​ ropes?

1. find the radius of the equator. You know that the formula for the circumference is l=2\pi r, then

24,882=2\pi r,\\ 12,441=\pi r,\\ \\ r=\dfrac{12,441}{\pi} =3,962.101910 mi.

2. If you are using a rope 48 ft=0.0091 mi longer than the first rope (then the circumference is 24882.0091), then you obtain another radius:

24,882.0091 =2\pi r_1, \\ r_1=3,962.103359 mi.

3. The difference between radii is 3,962.103359-3,962.101910=0.001449 mi (similarly 7.65 ft)

Use the formula   i = p*r*t.

Here, p = $100000, r = 0.05 and t = 1 (year)

The interest would be   i = $100000*0.05*1 = $5000 per year.

The equation 9(u – 2) + 1.5u = 8.25 models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the num
MArishka [77]

Answer:

h = 2.5

Step by step explanation:

We have been given an equation 9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25 that models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the number of hours walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals the number of hours sledding down the hill.

To find value of u we will solve our equation.

Upon using distributive property we will get,    

9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25

9u-18+1.5u=8.25

Now let us add 18 to both sides of our equation.

9u-18+18+1.5u=8.25+18

9u+1.5u=8.25+18

Now let us combine like terms.

10.5u=26.25

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10.5 we will get,

u=\frac{26.25}{10.5}

u=2.5

Therefore, value of u is 2.5.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.
