If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?

It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km.

At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km.

Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.

Solution for tan x plus cot x divided by sec x csc x?

(tan x + cot x)/sec x . csc x

The key to solve this question is to turn tan x, cot x, sec x, csc x into the simpler form.

Remember that tan x = sin x / cos x, cot x = 1/tan x, sec x = 1/cos x, csc x = 1/sin x

The solution is:

[(sin x / cos x)+(cos x / sin x)] / (1/cos x . 1/sin x)

[(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (1/sin x cos x)

[(sin x . sin x + cos x . cos x) / (sin x . cos x)] (sin x . cos x)

then

sin x. sin x + cos x . cos x

sin2x+cos2x

=1

The answer is 1.

What are the famous mathematical problems featuring pi?

The famous mathematical problems featuring pi include finding the area and the circumference of a circle. The value for pi is 3.14.

What is i to the sixth power?

The powers of i are:

i1 = i

i2 = -1

i1 = -i

i1 = 1

After that, the pattern repeats, so i6 = -1.

Descriptive Statistics vs Inferential Statistics?

Descriptive is when a few represent the whole population. Inferential infer the nature of a lager usually infinite set of data that we don't have.

What size cube has a surface area equal in number to its volume?

Suppose the cube has edges of length x.

Then the area of each face (side) is x2. There are six faces so the total surface area is 6x2. The volume of the cube is x3.

So 6x2 = x3

DIviding both sides by x2 gives x = 6.

What is a convex polygon with all sides congruent and all angles congruent?

A convex polygon with congruent sides and congruent angles is a regular polygon.

Some regular pilgrims have specific names: Equilateral triangle and square

What are sine cosine tangent cosecant secant cotangent?

They are usually introduced in mathematics as trigonometric ratios.

In a right angled triangle, there is (by definition) a right angle and the side opposite that is called the hypotenuse. Select one of the two acute angles, X. It is formed by two sides, one of which is the hypotenuse and the other is called the adjacent side. The third side, opposite the selected angle, is called the opposite side.

Suppose the lengths of these three sides are h, a and o. Then

sin(X) = o/h cosec(X) = 1/sin(X) = h/o

cos(X) = a/h sec(X) = 1/cos(X) = h/a

tan(X) = o/a cot(X) = 1/tan(X) = a/o

To find the distances between two distant objects without the use of trigonometry?

It depends on the objects, how far apart they are and whether or not one can be seen from the other. If they are moderately far apart, echo location (sonar or radar) located at one of the objects can be used. A beam of radio or sound waves is aimed at the object and the time taken to receive an echo is measured. Since the speed of radio waves or sound waves in the relevant medium is known, the distance travelled by these waves can be calculated. The distance to the object is then half the calculated distance (the waves have to go there and come back).

How many ways can you divide a square into 4 congruent parts?

Thinking for less than a minute I come up with 3 (not counting rotations and mirrorings)

Thinking for another minute I come up with an infinite number.

The assignment is asking: A swuare with a side of 4 feet needs to be cut into four parts that are the same in size. Can you find six different ways to cut the square? Using the squares below, draw six different ways the square could be cut. Hint: The parts might not have the same shape.

We have already found 4.

How do you find angles of a triangle?

I cannot answer this without knowing any more information. Finding the proper dimensions of a triangle without knowing the kind of triangle cannot really be done. Because it may be an isosceles triangle (every angle is equal) or it could be a 30-60-90 triangle etc.

How do you find center of a circle given 3 points on the circle?

You have points A, B, and C. Using a compass and straight edge, find a perpendicular bisector of AB (that is, a line that is perpendicular to AB and intersects AB at the midpoint of AB. Next, find a perpendicular bisector of BC. The two lines you found will meet at the center of the circle.
