Acapulco, Mexico and Hyderabad, India both lie at 17° north latitude, and lie very nearly halfway around the world from each other in an east-west direction. The radius of Earth at a latitude of 17° is about 3790 miles. Suppose that you could fly from Acapulco directly west to Hyderabad or fly directly north to Hyderabad. Which way would be shorter, and by how much? Use 3960 miles for Earth’s radius. (Hint: To fly directly north, you would go from 17° north latitude to 90° north latitude, and then back down to 17° north latitude.)

Answers

Answer 1
In solving this problem we can consider Earth to be a sphere. When we have a circle, then we can use this formula to find arc length:
[tex]L=2 \pi R \frac{C}{360} [/tex]
Where:
L= arc length (in this problem it is disance we need to travel)
R = radius of circle (in this problem it is equal to a radius of Earth)
C = angle we need to pass

We are told that two cities lie halfway around the world. If we fly to west this means angle is 180°.
This gives an arc length of:
[tex]L=2* \pi *3960* \frac{180}{360} \\ \\ L=12440.71 miles[/tex]

If we want to fly to north we need to go to 90° northern latidtude and then back to 17° latitude. This means angle is:
C=2*(90-17)=2*73°=146°
This gives an arc length of:
[tex]L=2* \pi *3960* \frac{146}{360} \\ \\ L=10090.8 miles[/tex]

We can see that flying north is shorter. It is shorter by:
12440.71 miles - 10090.8 miles = 2349.91 miles

In the diagram, the radius of the outer circle is 5cm and the area of the shaded region is 16π cm^2. What is the radius or the inner circle?

Answers

you divided your diameter by 2

By using the area of the ring we will see that the radius of the inner circle is 3cm.

What is the radius of the inner circle?

I assume that we have some kind of ring. To get the area of the ring, we need to take the area of the circle defined by the outer radius of the ring, and subtract the area defined by the circle with the inner radius of the ring.

Remember that the area of a circle of radius R is:

A = pi*R^2

We know that:

The radius of the outer circle is 5cm, so its area is:

A = pi*(5cm)^2 = pi*25cm^2

And the area of the ring is pi*16 cm^2

Then the area of the inner circle should be such that:

pi*25cm^2 - A' = pi*16cm^2

Then, solving for A'

A' = pi*25cm^2 - pi*16cm^2 = pi*9cm^2 = pi*(3cm)^2

So the radius of the inner circle is 3cm.

after doing the math and writing it out. it has to be one of these three answers but i do beleive that its the second answer but i need reassurance

Answers

We have been given that Vivian's insurance company pays for 80% of her foot surgery, after she pays a $500 deductible. We have been given that her surgery costs $9600 and we need to find how much will Vivian have to pay for her surgery.

Since we know that the insurance company will pay any amount after Vivian has paid $500. Therefore, the remaining amount after Vivian pays $500 as deductibles will be $9600 - $500 = $9100.

Now we know that Vivian's insurance company will pay 80% of this amount, therefore, Vivian will have to pay the 20% of $9100 in addition to the $500 she already paid.

20% of $9100 is [tex]9100\cdot \frac{20}{100} = \$1820[/tex]

Therefore, the total amount that Vivian pays for surgery is $500 + $1820 = $2320.

Therefore, the first choice given is the right answer.

Find the average value have of the function h on the given interval. h(u) = (15 − 10u)−1, [−1, 1]

Answers

-20 is the correct answer

The average value have of the function h(u) = (15 − 10u)−1 on the given interval  [−1, 1] is -5.

What is average value of the function?

The average value of a function is given by the formula:

[tex]fav = \frac{1}{b - a} \int\limits^b_a f({x}) \, dx[/tex]

Now the given function is,

h(u) = (15 − 10u) − 1

or, h(u) = 15 − 10u − 1

or, h(u) = 14 − 10u

So, the average value on the given interval [−1, 1] is given as:

[tex]fav = \frac{1}{1 - (-1)} \int\limits^1_{-1} h({u}) \, du[/tex]

Thus, putting the value of h(u) we get,

[tex]fav = \frac{1}{(1 + 1)} \int\limits^1_{-1} (14 - 10u) \, du[/tex]

Thus integrating we get,

fav = (1/2) { [14u] - [10u²/2]

⇒ fav = (1/2) { [14u] - [5u²]

Applying the limits we get, -1 to 1,

⇒ fav = (1/2) { 14[-1 + 1] - [5{-1² + 1²}]

Solving we get,

⇒ fav = (1/2) { 14[0] - [5{1 + 1}]

⇒ fav = (1/2) {- [5{2}]

⇒ fav = -5

Thus, the average value have of the function h(u) = (15 − 10u)−1 on the given interval  [−1, 1] is -5.

Answers

To solve the problem you must know that to change from Cartesian to polar coordinates you must write:

 Where "r" is the radius
 Likewise y = rsin (θ)
 Therefore, in the expression r = 3cos (θ) one can write r as:
 r = x / cos (θ)
 So:
 x / cos (θ) = 3cos (θ)
 x = 3cos ^ 2 (θ)
 The same for y ...
 y = rsin (θ)
 y = 3cos (θ) sin (θ).

What is the perimeter of rectangle that is 92 feet long and 46 feet wide?

Answers

Final answer:

The perimeter of a rectangle that is 92 feet long and 46 feet wide is calculated using the formula P = 2l + 2w, resulting in a perimeter of 276 feet.

Explanation:

The question asks for the perimeter of a rectangle with specific dimensions. To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, we use the formula P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle. Given that the rectangle is 92 feet long and 46 feet wide, we substitute these values into the formula to get the perimeter: P = 2(92) + 2(46) = 184 + 92 = 276 feet.

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 276 feet.

distance=speed*time------> distance=0.5/12----> distance=6 miles

the distance from home to school is 6 miles

step 2
find the speed with

The population of a city has increased by 26 % since it was last measured. If the current population is 44,100 , what was the previous population?

Answers

The previous population of the city was 35000.

What is Equation Modelling?

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

Assume the previous population to be [x].

Then, we can write -

x + 26% of x = 44100

x + 26x/100 = 44100

x + 13x/50 = 44100

(50x + 13x)/50 = 44100

63x = 44100 x 50

63x = 2205000

x = 35000

Therefore, the previous population of the city was 35000.

Final answer:

The previous population of the city was 35,000 before experiencing a 26% increase to the current population of 44,100.

Explanation:

To calculate the previous population of a city that has experienced a 26% increase to its current population of 44,100, we need to reverse the percentage increase. The formula for this is:

Previous population = Current population / (1 + Percentage increase)

In this case, the percentage increase is 26%, or 0.26 in decimal form. The calculation is:

Previous population = 44,100 / (1 + 0.26) = 44,100 / 1.26

This gives us:

Previous population = 35,000 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Hence, the previous population of the city was approximately 35,000 before the 26% increase to the current 44,100.
