- Surveying To find the distance across a small lake, a surveyor has taken the measurements shown. Find the distance across the lake using this information.arrow_forwardDistance A boy is twirling a model airplane on a string 5 feet long. If he twirls the plane at 0.5 revolutions per minute, how far does the plane travel in 2 minutes? Round to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardSolve these exercises. Pieces in the shape of spheres are to be made of lead castings. Each piece weighs 27.50 pounds. Find the required diameter of a casting. Lead weighs 707.7 pounds per cubic foot.

- A copper casting is in the shape of a prism with an equilateral triangle base. The length of each base side is 17.80 centimeters, and the casting height is 16.23 centimeters. Copper weighs 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Determine the weight of the casting in kilograms. One kilogram equals 1000 grams. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardRe-do the example under the assumption that the height of the tent 5 feet toward the center from the outside is 13 not 12 feet. The outside wall of the circus tent depicted in Figure 3.9 is 10 feet high. Five feet toward the center pole, the tent is 12 feet high. The center pole of the tent is 60 feet from the outside wall.arrow_forwardBaseball A baseball player in center field is approximately 330 feet from a television camera that is behind home plate. A batter hits a fly ball that goes to the wall 420 feet from the camera (see figure). The camera turns 8 to follow the play.
