Will give brainliest. Pls help. The volume of a cylinder is 300 feet^3. Find the volume of a cone and a sphere that have the sam

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Cone: 100ft^3

Sphere: 200ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the volume of a cone is 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder. It's literally in the formula:

$V_{cone} = \frac{h \pi r^2}{3}\\\textrm{As you can notice, }\pi r^2\textrm{ is the area of the base, like in the cylinder formula}\\$

So we can just instantly tell that the volume of the cone is 100feet^3.

Not for the sphere - we can assume that if the height is the same, it's equal to two radiuses, or simply - to the diameter. Let's use the formula for the volume of a sphere, but substitute one of the radiuses with $\frac{h}{2}$

$V_{sphere} = \frac{4\pi r^3}{3} = \frac{2\pi r^2 h}{3} = \frac{2h\pi r^2}{3} = 2\cdot V_{cone}$

So we can instantly tell that the volume of the sphere is 200feet^3

1. If x = 2, calculate the value of: x cubed + x squared

Sav [38]

1. 2^2=4
Sqrt(2) ≈1.4

4+1.4=5.4

2. -2^2 = -4
Sqrt(-2) = -1.4 i -> 1

3. 3x + 2 = 14
3x=12
X= 4

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

1/5 or A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello. Please excuse the idiot above we do not know how he formed or why he speaks like a gorilla on crack. Anyways, we, humans, believe that 1/5 is the correct answer since their are 5 intervals between 0 and 1 between one of the tick marks is 1/5 since there are 5 intervals. I really hope you guys are human not this gorilla above us. I hope I made your day please rate 5 stars , add thanks and please mark brainliest. :)
