Assuming that the moon is spherical and the orbit is circular: Lunar diameter = 3,475 km Orbital diameter = 3,475 + 42 = 3,517 km Orbital circumference = (pi) times diameter = 3,517(pi) = 11,048.981 km (rounded)

The diameter of a wheel is 6cm how many complete revolutions will the wheel make if it rolls a distance of 108pi cm?

Since it'll be rolling around the outside of the circle, the distance traveled will be in some multiple of the circumference. So, dividing the distance by the circumference will give the answer. C = πD = 6π revolutions = distance / circumference = 108π / 6π = 18 revolutions


How do you use slope to determine a right triangle?

Slope is equal to RISE over RUNDef. rise = the amount of distance you travel in the y-direction; the amount of distance traveled up or downDef. run = the amount of distance you travel in the x-direction; the amount of distance traveled left or rightTo determine the slope of a right traingle you need to put the length of the height of the length of the base.This is the formula for slope, which is not FULLY answering the question.Yes, you find the slopes of the legs, but then you substitute those answers into the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (or the converse, c^2 = a^2 + b^2).If both sides of the equation are equal to each other, then the triangle is right.If 'c^2' is greater than 'a^2 + b^2', then it is an obtuse triangle.If 'a^2 + b^2' is greater than 'c^2', then it is an acute triangle.

How do you convert degrees into percents?

Don't know if there is formula for converting degrees to percent, but here's a thought: Imagine a clockface with just the minute hand. When the hand makes a full circle, it has traveled 360 degrees for 100% of the circle. When the hand points to 3, it has traveled 45 degrees for 25% of the circle. The 6 is at 180 degrees and 50%. The 9 is at 270 degrees and 75%. You could break it down from there.
