Answer:

As three metallic spheres are melted and recast into a single solid sphere, the sphere formed by recasting these three spheres will have the same volume equal to the sum of the volumes of the three spheres.

Volume of the resulting sphere = Sum of the volumes of three spheres

We will find the volume of the sphere by using formula;

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr3where r is the radius of the sphere

Radius of 1st sphere, r₁ = 6 cm

Radius of 2nd sphere, r₂ = 8 cm

Radius of 3rd sphere, r₃ = 10 cm

Let the radius of the resulting sphere be r.

Volume of the resulting sphere = Sum of the volumes of three spheres

4/3 πr3 = 4/3 πr₁3 + 4/3 πr₂3 + 4/3 πr₃3

r3 = [r₁3 + r₂3 + r₃3]

r3 = [(6 cm)3 + (8 cm)3 + (10 cm)3]

r3 = [216 cm3 + 512 cm3 + 1000 cm3]

r3 = 1728 cm3

<h3>r = 12 cm</h3>

<u>Therefore, the radius of the sphere so formed will be 12 cm.</u>

★ Radius of first sphere \sf r_{1} = 6cm.

★ Radius of second sphere \sf r_{2} = 8cm.

★ Radius of third sphere \sf r_{3} = 10cm.

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Concept :}}}}}}

★ As, three spheres are melted to from one new sphere. Therefore, volume of three old sphere is equal to volume of new sphere.

i.e, Volume of first sphere + volume of second sphere + volume of third sphere = Volume of new sphere.

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}

Let,

The radius of resulting sphere be R

<u>According</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>question</u><u>,</u>

• Volume of first sphere + volume of second sphere + volume of third sphere = Volume of new sphere.

\longrightarrow \sf  \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(r_{1})}^{3}  + \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(r_{2})}^{3} + \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(r_{3})}^{3} = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi  {(R)}^{3}

• here

☆\: \sf r_{1} = 6cm

☆\: \sf r_{2} = 8cm

☆\: \sf r_{3} = 10cm

<u>Putting the values</u><u>,</u>

\longrightarrow \sf  \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(6)}^{3}  + \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(8)}^{3} + \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {(10)}^{3} = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi  {(R)}^{3}

<u>Takin</u><u>g</u><u> </u>" \dfrac{4}{3} \pi" <u>common,</u>

\longrightarrow \sf  \dfrac{4}{3} \pi \bigg[ {(6)}^{3}  +  {(8)}^{3} +  {(10)}^{3} \bigg] = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi  {(R)}^{3}

\longrightarrow \sf  \cancel{ \dfrac{4}{3} \pi} \bigg[ {(6)}^{3}  +  {(8)}^{3} +  {(10)}^{3} \bigg] = \cancel{ \dfrac{4}{3} \pi }  {(R)}^{3}

\longrightarrow \sf   \bigg[ {(6)}^{3}  +  {(8)}^{3} +  {(10)}^{3} \bigg] =  {(R)}^{3}

\longrightarrow \sf   \bigg[ 216  +512 +  1000 \bigg] =  {(R)}^{3}

\longrightarrow \sf   1728   =  {(R)}^{3}

\longrightarrow \sf    \sqrt[3]{1728}     = R

\longrightarrow \sf    \sqrt[3]{ 12 \times 12 \times 12 }     = R

\longrightarrow \sf    \sqrt[3]{ {(12)}^{3} }     = R

\longrightarrow \sf     R = \red{12 \: cm}

Therefore,

<u>Radius of the resulting sphere is 12cm.</u>

Answer:

Point H does lie on the graph y = 4.6x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 4.6x - 7

H(0, -7)

Step 2: Substitute, Evaluate, and Check

-7 = 4.6(0) - 7

-7 = 0 - 7

-7 = -7

while swimming a 2km race, Adam changes from breaststroke to butterfly every 200m. How many times does he switch strokes during
aleksley [76]

in the first half he would have swam 1 km. there are 1000m in a km so 1000/200=5 so he swam the first 200 fly, then a 200 breast, then a 200 fly again, then another 200 breast the finish the first 1 km with a 200 fly. so we switched strokes 4 times.





PS i wouldn't recommend doing a 2 km swim fly and breast

What were some of the challenges pilgrims faced on their journey
EleoNora [17]

On the ocean Pilgrims encounter fierce storms, disease, and their ship falls into disrepair. During the first winter they lack shelter, warmth, and food.

The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.

Hope this helped

A group of 100 students took a quiz. Their average score was 76 points. If the average score for the boys was 80 points and the
sveta [45]

Answer:

The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of students took quiz = 100

Average score of 100 students = 76 points

The Average score of boys = 80 points

The Average score of girls = 70 points

Let The number of boys participated in quiz = b

Let The number of girls participate in quiz = g

Now, According to question'

Total number of students took quiz = number of boys participated in quiz + number of girls participated in quiz

Or, b + g = 100           ........A

<u>Again</u>

∵ Average score of 100 students = 76 points

∴ Total score of 100 students = 76 × 100 = 7600

So, Average score of boys × number of boys participated + Average score of girls × number of girls participated = Total score of 100 students

Or, b × 80 + g × 70 = 7600

Or, 80 b + 70 g = 7600             .........B

Now, Solving equation A and B

(80 b + 70 g ) - 70 ×( b + g ) = 7600 - 70 × 100

I.e (80 b - 70 b) + (70 g - 70 g) = 7600 - 7000

Or, 10 b + 0 = 600

∴  b = \dfrac{600}{10}

i.e b = 60

So, The number of boys participated in quiz = b = 60

Put the value of b into eq A

∵ b + g = 100

So, g = 100 - b

Or, g = 100 - 60

i.e g = 40

So, The number of girls participated in quiz = g = 40

Hence, The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 . Answer
