Answer:

  4√(3π) ft ≈ 12.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for volume of a cone and a cylinder can be used to find the radius of the silo. Then the formula for the circumference of a circle can be used to find the circumference.

__

Relevant formulas are ...

  • V = πr²h . . . . . volume, cylinder with radius r, height h
  • V = 1/3πr²h . . . . volume, cone with radius r, height h
  • C = 2πr . . . . . . . . circumference of a circle with radius r

__

<h3>radius from volume</h3>

The total volume of the silo is the sum of the volumes of a cylinder of height (15 -6) = 9 ft, and a cone of height 6 ft. Both have the same radius: r. The total volume is given as 132 ft³.

  V = πr²h + 1/3πr²h' . . . . . . h = cylinder height, h' = cone height

  132 ft³ =  πr²(9 ft +1/3(6 ft)) = πr²(11 ft)

  r² = 132 ft³/(11π ft) = 12/π ft²

  r = √(12/π) ft = 2√(3/π) ft

<h3>circumference from radius</h3>

Then the circumference of the silo is ...

  C = 2πr = 2π(2√(3/π)) ft = 4√(3π) ft ≈ 12.28 ft

The circumference of the base of the silo is 4√(3π), about 12.28 feet.

Zack, Rachel, and Maddie are unraveling a huge ball of yarn to see how long it is. As they move away from each other, they form
Korolek [52]
We are tasked to solve the three angles given that we have the measurements of the sides such as
a = Zack to Rachel distance
b = Rachel to Maddie distance
c = Maddie to Zack distance

a =3
b =2.5
c =4

Solving the angles we need to use Law of Cosines:
cos A = 2.5² + 4² -3² /2*2.5*4
A = 48.59°

cos B=3² + 4² - 2.5² / 2*3*4
B = 38.625°

C=180 - 48.59° - 38.625°
C= 92.79°

The three angles are 48.59°,38.63° and 92.79°.
