City A is due north of City B. Find the distance between City A ( north latitude) and City B ( north latitude). Assume that the radius of Earth is 3960 miles.
The distance between City A and City B is ___miles.
Can someone help?! Show me step by step how this is done that I can understand it better.

=========================================================
Explanation:
The notation [tex]47^{\circ}4'[/tex] means "47 degrees, 4 minutes". The "minutes" isn't referring to a time value, but instead they are arc minutes. If we divide one degree into 60 equal pieces, then we form 60 arc minute slices. So in a sense, we are using a round analogue clock to help connect the two ideas.
We can convert to purely degrees through using this formula here
[tex]a^{\circ}b' = a + \frac{b}{60}[/tex]
So,
[tex]47^{\circ}4' = 47 + \frac{4}{60} \approx 47.06667^{\circ}[/tex]
and similarly,
[tex]22^{\circ}46' = 22+ \frac{46}{60} \approx 22.76667^{\circ}[/tex]
Now subtract the two results we got
47.06667-22.76667 = 24.3
The angular distance between the two cities is 24.3 degrees. By "angular distance" I basically mean how far you need to rotate your viewing angle when looking from city A to city B. Imagine that you're able to be situated at the center of the earth.
The circumference of the earth is
C = 2*pi*r
C = 2*pi*3960
C = 24,881.4138164311
which is approximate and the units are in miles. We multiply by the fraction 24.3/360 to find the arc distance along the curve that corresponds to the angle 24.3 degrees. This is because we don't want the whole circumference, but just a small fraction of it.
So (24.3/360)*24,881.4138164311 = 1,679.4954326091
This rounds to 1679
The distance between the two cities is about 1679 miles.

Answer:
1679 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
One minute is 1/60 of a degree, so the difference in latitudes is ...
47 4/60 -22 46/60 = 24 18/60 = 24.3 . . . degrees
The arc length is given by ...
s = rθ . . . . . . r = radius, θ = angle in radians
180° is π radians, so the surface distance between the two cities is ...
s = (3960 mi)(24.3×π/180) = 534.6π mi ≈ 1679.495 mi
The distance between City A and City B is about 1679 miles.
_____
Additional comment
As a good approximation, the distance is about 60 nautical miles per degree of latitude. Using that approximation, and converting from nautical miles to statute miles would give a distance of 1678 miles.

For a solution to be solution to a system, it must satisfy all the equations of that system, and as all points satisfying an equation are in their graphs, so solution to a system is the intersection of all its equation at single point(as we need common point, which is going to be intersection of course)(this can be one or many, or sometimes none)

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\mu = 395000[/tex] -- mean price
Required
Determine the null and alternate hypotheses
From the question, we understand that the mean price is:
[tex]\mu = 395000[/tex]
This represents the null hypothesis
[tex]H_o:\mu = 395000[/tex]
The belief that the home prices are lower represents the alternate hypothesis
Lower means less than
So, the alternate hypothesis is:

Step-by-step explanation:
This is false because A density graph is not used to find the probability of a discrete random variable taking on a range of values. This is because you have to use a calculations instead of a graph.

The height of a cylinder is 10 yards. The volume of the cylinder is 1,540 cubic yards. What is the radius of the cylinder? Use 22/7 or 3.14 for pie
Answers
Answer:
Radius ≈ 7 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Height = 10
Volume = 1540
Missing radius
Use the formula and work backwards
Formula : πr²h
Plug in the given info:
1540 = 3.14 * r² * 10
Work backwards:
1540/10 = 3.14 * r²
154 = 3.14 * r²
154/3.14 = r²
49.044 = r²
√49.044 ≈ 7
Radius = 7

Area and circumference of this circle
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The radius is 6 cm
To find the area + circumference we need to use 2 formulas:
Area: pi* radius^2
Circumference: 2*pi*r
First we can do the area
I will use "pi" for pi instead of 3.14
pi * 6^2
= 36 pi
The area is 36 pi
Next, circumference
2 * pi *r
2*pi*6
= 12 pi
So the area is 36 pi, and the circumference is 12 pi

Answers
Answer:
[tex]d=\sqrt{53}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the distance between two points i.e. (−5,−1) and (−3,−8).
It can be calculated using distance formula as follows :
[tex]d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
We have, x₁ = -5, x₂ = -3, y₁ = -1 and y₂ = -8
Put all the values,
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-8-(-1))^2+(-3-(-5))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{49+4}\\\\d=\sqrt{53}[/tex]
So, the distance between the points is equal to [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex]

Standard deviation of low income group :
√(Σ(x - mean)²/n) = 4.717
High Income group :
Mean of high income, Σx / n = 692/35 = 19.771
Median of high income group : 1/2(n+1)th term = Median of high income = 20.000
