9. The diameter of the Earth is 7899.83 miles from the North Pole to the South Pole and 7926.41 miles from opposite points at the equator.
a. Find the approximate surface area of Earth using each measure.
b. About 75% of Earth's surface is covered by water. Find the surface area of water on Earth, using the diameter of the Earth is 7926.41 miles from opposite points at the equator.​

Answers

Answer:

a. The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the poles is approximately 1.961 × 10⁸ mi²

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the equator is approximately 1.974 × 10⁸ mi²

b. The surface area of the water on Earth using the diameter of the Earth measured from opposite points of the equator is approximately 1.480 × 10⁸ mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of the Earth measured from the North to the South pole, [tex]D_p[/tex] = 7899.83 miles

The diameter of the Earth measured from (across) opposite points of the equator, [tex]D_e[/tex] = 7926.41 miles

a. The surface area, [tex]A_E[/tex], of the Earth, taking the Earth as a perfect sphere, is given as follows;

A = 4 × π × r²

Where;

r = The radius of the sphere = 1/2 × the diameter of the sphere

For the diameter measured from poles, [tex]r_p[/tex] = [tex]D_p[/tex]/2 = (7899.83 miles)/2 = 3949.915 miles

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the poles, [tex]A_{Ep}[/tex] = 4 × π × (3949.915 miles)² = 196058359.283 mi² ≈ 1.961 × 10⁸ mi²

For the diameter measured from equator, [tex]r_e[/tex] = [tex]D_e[/tex]/2 = (7926.41 miles)/2 = 3963.205 miles

The approximate surface area of the Earth based on the diameter of the Earth measured from the equator, [tex]A_{Ee}[/tex] = 4 × π × (3963.205 miles)² = 197379906.233 mi² ≈ 1.974 × 10⁸ mi²

b. The percentage of the surface area of the Earth covered by water ≈ 75%

The surface area of water on Earth using the diameter of the Earth = 7926.41 miles (the diameter measured from the equator), we have;

The area of the Earth with a diameter of 7926.41 miles was given as  [tex]A_{Ee}[/tex] = 4 × π × ((7926.41 miles)/2)² = 197379906.233 mi²

The surface area of the water on Earth = 75% × The area of the Earth = 75/100 × 197379906.233 = 148034929.675 mi² ≈ 1.480 × 10⁸ mi²

Answers

Answer: 37/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\frac{37}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]12\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

When converting mixed numbers (such as the one above), to improper fractions, we must first multiply the whole number by the denominator:

[tex]12*3=36[/tex]

Then, add the numerator the the product:

[tex]36+1=37[/tex]

Now, put the sum over the denominator to get your solution:

[tex]\frac{37}{3}[/tex]

-

To check your work, you can convert the improper fraction to a mixed number to make sure you will end up with [tex]12\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

Divide [tex]37[/tex] into [tex]3[/tex]:

[tex]12[/tex] with a remainder of [tex]1[/tex]

Put the remainder over the denominator:

[tex]12\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, our solution is correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

2x + 3 + 4x = 6x + 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms:                   6x + 3 = 6x + 3Subtract 3 on both sides:           6x = 6xDivide 6 on both sides:              x = x

Here we see that x does indeed equal to x.

∴ x = infinite amount of solutions.

2x + 3 + 4x = 6x + 3

Combine the like terms on the left side

2x + 4x = 6x

6x + 3= 6x + 3

Subtract 3 from each side

6x = 6x

Divide each side by 6

x = x

No matter what x is, they are the same. It has infinite solutions.

How many adult tickets were sold if each adult ticket sold was $6 and each student ticket was $4.50 and 260 tickets were sold for a total of $1404?

Answers

Answer:

   Adult tickets sold:   156

Step-by-step explanation:

   Adult ticket:   x

Student ticket:  y

x + y = 260                  ===>   -6(x + y = 260)     ===>  -6x -6y = -1560

6x + 4.5y = 1404         ===>                                           6x + 4.5y = 1404

                                                                                  ________________

add the two equations to eliminate a variable:                  -1.5y = -156

divide by -1.5:                                                                              y = 104

substitution to find x:

      x + y = 260

  x + 104 = 260

            x = 156

A skating rink changes one admission price for adults and a different admission price for children. The total admission price for a group of 4 adults and 10 children is $57. The total admission price for a group of 3 adults and 7 children is $41. What are the admission prices for an adult and for a adult?

Answers

Given:

The total admission price for a group of 4 adults and 10 children is $57.

The total admission price for a group of 3 adults and 7 children is $41.

To find:

The admission prices for an adult and for a children.

Solution:

Let the price of an adult be x and price of children be y.

According to the question,

[tex]4x+10y=57[/tex]         ...(i)

[tex]3x+7y=41[/tex]      ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 3.

[tex]12x+30y=171[/tex]         ...(iii)

Multiply equation (i) by 4.

[tex]12x+28y=164[/tex]      ...(iv)

Subtract (iv) from (iii).

[tex]12x+30y-12x-28y=171-164[/tex]

[tex]2y=7[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]y=3.5[/tex]

Put y=3.5 in (i).

[tex]4x+10(3.5)=57[/tex]

[tex]4x+35=57[/tex]

[tex]4x=57-35[/tex]

[tex]4x=22[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]x=5.5[/tex]

Therefore, the price for an adult is $5.5 and price for a child is $3.5.

What is the solutions of the following system of equations.

y = -2x + 2

y = x - 1

Answers

Answer:

x = 1, y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 2x + 2 → (1)

y = x - 1 → (2)

Substitute y = x - 1 into (1)

x - 1 = - 2x + 2 ( add 2x to both sides )

3x - 1 = 2 ( add 1 to both sides )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y

Substituting into (2)

y = 1 - 1 = 0

Solution is (1, 0 )

1/5x75=75/5 =15

15 seventh graders play in the jazz band as per the given ratio.

What is the ratio?

One quantity can be expressed as a fraction of other quantities using a ratio, which is a number. Only when the two numbers in a ratio have the same unit can they be compared. Ratios are used to compare two objects.

Given At Charles School, 1/5 of the 75 students in seventh-grade play in the jazz band.

In the form of a ratio

1/5 the students out of 75 play in the jazz band

Total students play in the jazz band = 75* 1/5

Total students play in the jazz band = 15

A large water tank holds 600 gallons of water. It is losing water at the rate shown in the table.

Answers

Answer:

Part A - The answer is C

Part B - a.true, b.true, c.false, d.true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The slope shown on the table is -60 because the table shows that after each hour, the Gallons of Water decrease by 60.

Part B

a. The slope is -60 not -600, this was established on Part A.

b. We start off with 600 gallons of water. The equation is y = 600 - 60x. If we input 7 as x, we get 600 - 420 which is 180.

c. The initial value was 600, -60 is the slope.

d. As mentioned in b. of part B.

A linear function changes by a constant rate.

The slope is -60, and it represents the rate at which the amount of water changes hourly.The true statements are (b) and (d)The false statements are (a) and (c)

Two points on the table are given as:

[tex](x,y) = (0,600)\ (1,540)[/tex]

The slope (m) of the points is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{540 - 600}{1-0}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{- 60}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m = - 60[/tex]

So, the slope is -60, and it represents the rate at which the amount of water changes hourly.

The function of the table is represented as:

[tex]y = -60x + 600[/tex]

So:

(a) is false, because the slope is -60

(b) is true, because y = 180 when x = 7

(c) is false, because the initial value is 600

(d) is true
