_____/2 pts. On Monday, April 8, 2024, the moon blocked the sun's light from reaching the Earth along a path that traveled across North America. The path of totality of the solar eclipse, where the sun was totally blocked, began in Mexico, travelled across the United States, and exited North America in Newfoundland, Canada. Watch this video simulation created as if a plane followed the eclipse: Video Simulation of Solar Eclipse April 2024. 1 What do you notice? What do you wonder? Include geometry vocabulary in your answer.

2._____/2 pts. In Virginia, MN the maximum coverage by the moon of the sunlight was 67.5%. Here are three pictures from NASA's website showing the blockage of the moon at different times at Virginia, MN. 2The moon and the sun appear to be nearly the same size in these simulations. What property of circles studied in Unit 3 allow the sun and moon to have this appearance? April 8, 1:29pm April 8, 2:05pmApril 8, 2:41pm



3a._____/2pts. Draw two circles to represent the Earth and the Moon. On our last unit test, we calculated their scale factor, k, as 0.27 and then noticed that this was similar to 1/4. When you draw your two circles, use the compass and it's Kami generated radius measure to make them in this proportion.

3b. _____/1pt. If the circumference of the Earth was 24,900 miles and the path of totality was 115 miles wide, what percentage of the Earth's circumference was affected by the moon's shadow?

3c._____/1pt. Add an arc on your "Earth" circle to approximate the shadow of the Moon. Then draw a central angle intercepting this arc.

3d._____/1pt. Using the measurements given in 3b., calculate the central angle of the arc in degrees.

b) The average number of successful 3-point shots from the line in error was lower, 25.8% successes compared with 33.3% successes from the correct line. From CBS News, "The numbers showed that players struggled with the line that was too close to the basket." 5From your knowledge of circle geometry, why might the players have struggled more to place the basketball in the hoop on the side where the line was closer to the basket?
