A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:
A right triangle is shown with the vertices labeled Earth, Sun, and Shooting Star. The angle formed by the Sun is labeled x deg
A scientist measures the angle x and the distance y between the Earth and the Sun. Using complete sentences, explain how the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star. (10 points)

Answers
The distance between the Shooting Star and planet Earth is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Shooting Star multiplied by the sine of angle x.
How to calculate the distance?Fist of all, we would assign variables to the distance between these astronomical objects as follows:
Let EM be the distance between the Shooting Star and planet Earth.Let y be the distance between the Sun and the Shooting Star.Since the triangle is right-angled, we would use the sine trigonometry to determine the value of the distance between the Sun and the Shooting Star:
Sinθ = Opp/Hyp
Sinθ = EM/y
EM = y × Sinθ
Therefore, the distance between the Shooting Star and planet Earth is equal to the distance between the Sun and the Shooting Star multiplied by the sine of angle x.

Answers
Answer:
[tex]f(t) =-\frac{1}{20} t + 12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]t \to time[/tex]
[tex]f \to figurines[/tex]
Required
Determine the function
From the question, we have:
[tex]60\ minutes \to 9\ left[/tex]
This is represented as:
[tex]f(60) = 9[/tex] or [tex](60,9)[/tex]
If he spends 20 minutes on 1 figurine;
[tex]20\ minutes = 1\ figurine[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]60\ minutes = 3\ figurines[/tex]
This means that, he spends 60 minutes on 3
plus he still has 9 left
So, the initial figurines is:
[tex]f(0) =3 + 9[/tex]
[tex]f(0) =12[/tex] or [tex](0,12)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](60,9)[/tex] and [tex](0,12)[/tex]
Calculate the slope (m)
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{12- 9}{0 -60}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{3}{ -60}[/tex]
[tex]m = -\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
The equation is then calculated as;
[tex]f(t) = m * t + c[/tex]
[tex]f(t) = -\frac{1}{20} * t + c[/tex]
[tex]f(t) = -\frac{1}{20}t + c[/tex]
To solve for c, we have:
[tex]f(60) = 9[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]9 = -\frac{1}{20} * 60 + c[/tex]
[tex]9 = -3 + c[/tex]
Add 3 toboth sides
[tex]c =12[/tex]
Hence, the equation is:
[tex]f(t) =-\frac{1}{20} t + c[/tex]
[tex]f(t) =-\frac{1}{20} t + 12[/tex]

f=-1/20t+12

What is the volume of a figure?The volume of a figure is the total space enclosed within the figure.
How do we determine the volume of a cylinder?The volume of a cylinder of radius r units, and height h units is determined using the formula,
The volume of the cylinder = πr²h.
How do we solve the given question?In the question, we are given a cylinder of the height of 12 inches and a radius of r inches.
The volume of the cylinder is given to be 1357 in³ approximately.
By the formula,
The volume of the cylinder = πr²h
or, 1357 = 3.14*(r²)*12
or, 1357 = 37.68r²
or, r² = 1357/37.68
or, r² = 36.013 ≈ 36 = 6²
∴ r = 6.
∴ The radius of the cylinder r = 6 in, given the volume of the cylinder, is 1357 in³.

The force, F (Newtons), between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d (metres), between them.
The force is 0.35 Newtons when the distance between the objects is 8 metres.
Work out F (rounded to 2 DP) when d=7 metres.
Answers
Sorry for the wrong answer
Answer:
0.46 Newtons
Step-by-step explanation:
The force, F (Newtons), between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d (metres), between them.
f = k/d²
--------------------------------
to determine k use The force is 0.35 Newtons when the distance between the objects is 8 metres.
0.35 = k/8²
0.35 = k/64
multiply both sides by 64
22.4 = k
---------------------------
Work out F (rounded to 2 DP) when d=7 metres.
f = 22.4/7²
f = 22.4/49
f = 0.46

Cleiton vai participar de uma maratona e para isso treina diariamente correndo 7 km. No final de três semana quantos quilômetros terá percorrido?
Answers
Answer:
Number of kilometer he run in 3 week = 147 kilometer
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cleiton's daily run = 7 km
Find:
Number of kilometer he run in 3 week
Computation:
Number of days in a week = 7
Number of days in 3 week = 7 x 3
Number of days in a week = 21 days
Number of kilometer he run in 3 week = Cleiton's daily run × Number of days in a week
Number of kilometer he run in 3 week = 7 × 21
Number of kilometer he run in 3 week = 147 kilometer
Ashley has baked 17 cakes for a bake sale. She can bake 2 cakes with each additional stick of butter
she buys. How many additional sticks of butter does she need in order to make 41 cakes?
WRITE THE EQUATION THEN SOLVE PLEASEEEE. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Answers
Answer:
12 additional sticks of butter
Step-by-step explanation:
First, create an equation. Let y represent the number of additional sticks of butter needed, and let x represent the number of cakes made.
y = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] will be the equation.
Since she has already baked 17 cakes, she will need to bake 24 more cakes to make 41 cakes.
Plug in 24 as x into the equation, and solve for y:
y = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{24}{2}[/tex]
y = 12
So, she will need 12 additional sticks of butter
