- Answers 82. Trenton, New Jersey (40.2°N, 74.8°W), is located north of the equator, and Ayacucho, Peru (13.2°S, 74.2°W), is located south of the equator. The longitudes are nearly the same indicating that the cities are roughly due north-south of each other. Use the difference in latitude to approximate the distance between the cities. 83. A pulley is 16 cm in diameter. a. Find the distance the load will rise if the pulley is rotated 1350°. Find the exact distance in terms of n and then round to the nearest centimeter. b. Through how many degrees should the pulley rotate to lift the load 100 cm? Round to the nearest degree. Load Answers 84. A pulley is 1.2 ft. in diameter. a. Find the distance the load will rise if the pulley is rotated 630°. Find the exact distance in terms of a and then round to the nearest tenth of a foot. b. Through how many degrees should the pulley rotate to lift the load 24 ft? Round to the nearest degree.arrow_forwardPacman's mouth measures 90°. What is the area of Pacman's body if the radius measure 10 mm? Round to the nearest hundredth. Hint: Pacman's body is in yellow in the image below 90° Angle of Pacman's body = Hint: Remember a full circle is 360°. If his mouth is 90°, what is the angle of his body? Area = mm2 degrees Hint: Sector Area = Tp2 360arrow_forwardThe Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards specify that the ramp angle used for a wheelchair ramp must be less than or equal to 4.78°. length of ramp vertical rise ramp angle horizontal distance 50.
