The center of a circle of radius 2 inches is at a distance of 10 inches from the center of a circle of radius length 3 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the approximate length of a common internal tangent? Use the hint provided in Exercise 38. HINT: use similar triangles to find OD and DP. Then apply the Pythagorean Theorem twice.
A jogger runs along two sides of an open rectangular lot. If the first side of the lot is 200 ft long and the diagonal distance across the lot is 400 ft, what is the measure of the angle formed by the 200-ft and 400-ft dimensions? To the nearest foot, how much farther does the jogger run by travelling the two sides of the block rather than the diagonal distance across the lot?
From the veranda of a beachfront hotel, Manny is searching the seascape through his binoculars. A ship suddenly appears on the horizon. If Manny is 80ft above the earth, how far is the ship out at sea? HINT: See Exercise 27 and note that 1mi=5280ft. An airplane reaches an altitude of 3mi above the earth. Assuming a clear day and that a passenger has binoculars, how far can the passengers see? HINT: The radius of the earth is approximately 4000 mi.
