Sally finds a coin with a radius of 1.5 centimeters and a thickness of 0.25 cm. It has a measured mass of 18.54 grams. How can S

ally use this to determine if the coin is made of Lead (density of 11.3 g/cubic centimeter) or Silver (10.49 g/cubic centimeter)? What is the coin made of? Explain.

Answer:

Silver

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the coin

<u>Volume of a cylinder</u>

\textsf{V}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}

Given:

  • r = 1.5 cm
  • h = 0.25 cm

Substituting given values into the formula to find the volume:

\sf \implies V=\pi (1.5)^2(0.25)

\sf \implies V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Find the density of the coin given it has a measured mass of 18.54 g

<u>Density formula</u>

\sf \rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

where:

  • \rho = density
  • m = mass
  • V = volume

Given:

  • m = 18.54 g
  • \sf V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Substituting given values into the density formula:

\implies \sf \rho=\dfrac{18.54}{0.5625 \pi}

\implies \sf \rho=10.49149385\:g\:cm^{-3}

Given:

  • \textsf{Density of Lead}=\sf 11.3\:g\:cm^{-3}
  • \textsf{Density of Silver}=\sf 10.49\:g\:cm^{-3}

Therefore, as \sf \rho=10.49\:g\:cm^{-3} the coin is made from silver.

A building's construction cost was $625,000. the building is 80 feet long, 45 feet wide and 12 feet high. what was the cost of t
Alborosie
Volume = Length x Width x Height 
Volume = 80 x 45 x 12
Volume = 43200 ft³

Cost per cubic foot = $625 000 ÷ 43200
Cost per cubic foot = $14.47

----------------------------------------------
Answer: $14.47 per cubic foot.

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%. If the selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000, which of the following
Kisachek [45]

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.

selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000

Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

x-\frac{40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \frac{100x-40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ \frac{60x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ 60x= 3000*100\\ \\ x=\frac{3000*100}{60} \\ \\ \ x=5*100=5000\\

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000

Line AC is tangent to circle O at point C<br> What is the measure of OAC?
Nuetrik [128]
AC is a tangent so by definition, it touches the circle at exactly one point (point C) and forms a right angle at the tangency point. So angle ACO is 90 degrees

The remaining angle OAC must be 45 degrees because we need to have all three angles add to 180
45+45+90 = 90+90 = 180

Alternatively you can solve algebraically like so
(angle OAC) + (angle OCA) + (angle COA) = 180
(angle OAC) + (90 degrees) + (45 degrees) = 180
(angle OAC) + 90+45 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 = 180
(angle OAC) + 135 - 135 = 180 - 135
angle OAC = 45 degrees

Side Note: Triangle OCA is an isosceles right triangle. It is of the template 45-45-90.
