Answer:

a)  81π  in³

b)  27  in³

c)  divide the volume of the slice of cake by the volume of the whole cake

d)  10.6%

e)  see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Part (a)</u></h3>

The cake can be modeled as a <u>cylinder </u>with:

  • diameter = 9 in
  • height = 4 in

\sf Radius=\dfrac{1}{2}diameter \implies r=4.5\:in

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

\begin{aligned}\sf \implies \textsf{Volume of the cake} & =\pi (4.5)^2(4)\\ & = \sf \pi (20.25)(4)\\ & = \sf81 \pi \:\: in^3\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Part (b)</u></h3>

\begin{aligned}\textsf{Circumference of the cake} & = \sf \pi d\\& = \sf 9 \pi \:\:in\end{aligned}

If each slice of cake has an arc length of 3 in, then the volume of each slice is 3/9π of the entire volume of the cake.

\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of slice of cake} & = \sf \dfrac{3}{9 \pi} \times \textsf{volume of cake}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{3}{9 \pi} \times 81 \pi\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{243 \pi}{9 \pi}\\\\& = \sf 27\:\:in^3\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Part (c)</u></h3>

The volume of each slice of cake is 27 in³.

The volume of the whole cake is 81π in³.

To calculate the probability that the first slice of cake will have the marble, divide the volume of a slice by the volume of the whole cake:

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Probability & = \sf \dfrac{27}{81 \pi}\\\\& = \sf 0.1061032954...\\\\ & = \sf 10.6\% \:\:(1\:d.p.)\end{aligned}

<h3><u>Part (d)</u></h3>

Probability is approximately 10.6%  (see above for calculation)

<h3><u>Part (e)</u></h3>

If the four slices of cake are cut and passed out <em>before </em>anyone eats or looks for the marble, the probability of getting the marble is the same for everyone. If one slice of cake is cut and checked for the marble before the next slice is cut, the probability will increase as the volume of the entire cake decreases, <u>until the marble is found</u>.  So it depends upon how the cake is cut and distributed as to whether Hattie's strategy makes sense.

What is a system of equations for the following situation? There is a total of 40 questions on a test. Some questions are multip
Elden [556K]

First we define the variables:

m = multiple choice questions

s = short answer questions

Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:

1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:

m+s=40

2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:

2m+4s=100

By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!

m+s=40

2m+4s=100

ss7ja [257]

Since it is a parallelogram cente at point T, then the measure of PT is equal to the measure of TR. And the measure of QT is equal to the measure of TS.

 

PT = TR

a + 4 = 2a

4 = 2a -a

a = 4

 

PT = TR = 8 units

 

QT = TS

b = 2b -3

3 = 2b – b

b = 3

 

<span>QT = TS = 3 units</span>
