The farthest distance a satellite signal can directly reach is the length of the segment tangent to the curve of Earth’s surface

. If the measure of the angle formed by the tangent satellite signals is 152, what is the measure of the intercepted arc on Earth? (The figure is not drawn to scale.)

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

There is two arcs in the diagram, outer arc and inner arc.

There is a theorem that says that the measure of the intercepted angle (the angle 152) will be HALF of the two intercepted arc's difference (outer - inner).

Thus we can write:

152=\frac{1}{2}(OuterArc-InnerArc)

Also

304=(OuterArc-InnerArc)

Also, we know that there are 360 degrees in a circle, so we can say:

OuterArc+InnerArc=360

<u>Note:</u> We need to find the intercepted arc on Earth, which is the inner arc.

We can add up the 2 equations and solve for the arcs:

OuterArc-InnerArc=304\\OuterArc+InnerArc=360\\-------------\\2*OuterArc=664\\OuterArc=332

Hence,

InnerArc = 360 - 332 = 28 degrees

2nd answer choice is right.

Interest rate= 0.083%

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal= $5000 Amount= $10000 Time period= 12 years

A=Amount, P= Principal, I= Simple Interest r= Rate of interest t= Time period

A= P+ I\\10000= 5000+ I\\I=10000-5000=5000\\I=Prt\\5000=5000*r*12\\r=5000/5000*12\\r=5000/60000\\r=0.083

Pls explain your work!
mylen [45]

Answer:

find total volume to find what amount is 20%

hack, is put the 20% in alreadyy to find 20% volume

20%=1/5

so

vcone=1/3(hpir^2)

times thath by 1/5

vcone=1/15(hpir^2)

d/2=r

given

4.8=d

4.8/2=d/2=r=2.4

10=h

V=1/15(10pi2.4^2)

V=1/15(10pi5.76)

V=1/15(57.6pi)

V=3.84pi

V=12.0637 cubic inches=20% of vase

0.5 cubc inches per min

0.5 times t=12.0637

divide both sides by 0.5

t=24.1237

about 24 minutes

If f (x) = StartRoot 4 x + 9 EndRoot + 2, which inequality can be used to find the domain of f(x)? StartRoot 4 x EndRoot greater
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"f (x) = StartRoot 4 x + 9 EndRoot + 2" should be written as

 

Note that √(4x + 9) is a variation of the basic function y = √x, whose domain is [0, ∞ ).

The domain of f(x) = √(4x + 9) + 2 is found by taking the "argument" 4x + 9 of √(4x + 9) and setting it equal to zero:

4x + 9 ≥ 0, or

4x ≥ -9, or

x ≥ -9/4

This is the domain of the given function f(x) = √(4x + 9) + 2.  So long as x is ≥ -9/4, the function f(x) will be defined.

You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time. Your phones independently select one of ten channels
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1/100.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can make the following deductions from the information given in the question or problem above.

[1]. "You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time."

DEDUCTION: Two people are involved, that is you and your neighbor are both involved.

[2]. "Your phones independently select one of ten channels at random to connect to the base unit. "

DEDUCTION: Both cordless phones can choose one channels each which is random. The number of channels available is ten.

Therefore, the probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel can be calculated or determined as follows:

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = probability that both your phone will pick one channel out of the ten channels ×  the probability that your neighbor phone pick one channel out of the ten channels.

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/10 × 1/10 = 1/100.

Therefore, The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/100.
