The square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

First we have to find the line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (8, 0)

(y - 0) = (0-6)/(8-0)(x-8)

y = (-6/8)[x - 8]

Plug y = x

x = (-6/8)[x - 8]

After solving:

x = 24/7 or 3.428

y = 24/7 or 3.428

Thus, the square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

Volume of a sphere and a cone

We have that the equation of the volume of a sphere is given by:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

We have that the radius of a sphere is half the diameter of it:

Then, the radius of this sphere is

r = 6cm/2 = 3cm

<h2>Finding the volume of a sphere</h2>

We replace r by 3 in the equation:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot3^3 \end{gathered}

Since 3³ = 3 · 3 · 3 = 27

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi3^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \end{gathered}

If we use π = 3.14:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.18\bar{6}\cdot27 \end{gathered}

Rounding the first factor to the nearest hundredth (two digits after the decimal), we have:

4.18666... ≅ 4.19

Then, we have that:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.19\cdot27 \\ =113.13 \end{gathered}

Then, we have that:

<h2>Finding the volume of a cone</h2>

We have that the volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

where r is the radius of its base and h is the height:

Then, in this case

r = 3

h = 6

and

π = 3.14

Replacing in the equation for the volume:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \end{gathered}

Then, we have:

3² = 9

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot9\cdot6 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot54 \\ V=56.52 \\  \end{gathered}

Answer: the volume of the cone that has the same circular base and height is 56.52 cm³

Ksju [112]


------------------------(- K)-------------0-------------(+K)-----------------

K unit to the left of 0, means K is negative.
The opposite of (-K) is (+K), both are symmetric vs. the origin "0", then its location will be +K
