The city council plans to build a new water storage tank for the community. The tank is cylindrical with a base diameter of 25 f

t. and a height of 30 ft. Draw and label a diagram for the new water tank.
a. Find the volume of the tank in cubic feet

b. If 1 cubic foot of water holds 7.5 gallons, how many gallons can the new tank hold?

Answer:

a. $14726.216ft^{3}$

b. $110446.62gal$

Step-by-step explanation:

I attach the diagram of the new water tank.

a. In order to find the volume of the tank in cubic feet, we will need to calculate the volume of a cylinder. We know that its base measures $25ft$ and its height is $30ft$ .

The volume ''V'' of a cylinder is :

$V=(\frac{\pi D^{2}}{4}).(H)$

Where '' $D$ '' is the diameter of the base and '' $H$ '' is the height of the cylinder.

If we replace all the data in the equation :

$V=\frac{\pi .(25ft)^{2}}{4}.(30ft)=14726.216ft^{3}$

We found out that the volume of the tank in cubic feet is $14726.216ft^{3}$

b. We know that 1 cubic foot of water is equal to 7.5 gallons. To find the amount of gallons that the new tank can hold, we need to do an unit conversion.

This equivalence is given to us :

$1ft^{3}=7.5gal$ ⇒ Using the equivalence ⇒

$(14726.216ft^{3}).(\frac{7.5gal}{1ft^{3}})=110446.62gal$

Finally, the new tank will hold $110446.62gal$ of water.

Marty is asked to draw triangles with side lengths of 4 units and 2 units, and a non-included angle of 30°. Select all the trian

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The drawn in the attached figure

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First case</em>

In the triangle ABC

Let

$a=4\ units\\b=2/ units\\B=30^o$

Applying the law of sines

Find the measure of angle A

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{4}{sin(A)}=\frac{2}{sin(30^o)}$

$sin(A)=1$

so

$A=90^o$

Find the measure of angle C

In a right triangle

we know that

$B+C=90^o$ ----> by complementary angles

$B=30^o$

therefore

$C=60^o$

Find the length side c

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{c}{sin(C)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{c}{sin(60^o)}=\frac{2}{sin(30^o)}$

$c=2\sqrt{3}\ units$

therefore

The dimensions of the triangle are

$A=90^o$

$B=30^o$

$C=60^o$

$a=4\ units\\b=2\ units\\c=2\sqrt{3}=3.46\ units$

<em>Second case</em>

In the triangle ABC

Let

$a=4\ units\\b=2/ units\\A=30^o$

Applying the law of sines

Find the measure of angle B

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{4}{sin(30^o)}=\frac{2}{sin(B)}$

$sin(B)=0.25$

so

using a calculator

$B=14.48^o$

Find the measure of angle C

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

$A+B+C=180^o$

$A=30^o\\B=14.48^o$

therefore

$30^o+14.48^o+C=180^o$

$C=135.52^o$

Find the length side c

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{c}{sin(C)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{c}{sin(135.52^o)}=\frac{4}{sin(30^o)}$

$c=5.61\ units$

therefore

The dimensions of the triangle are

$A=30^o$

$B=14.48^o$

$C=135.52^o$

$a=4\ units\\b=2\ units\\c=5.61\ units$

You have two parents, four grandparents, eight greatgrandparents, and so forth.

Leviafan [203]

A.
In the first generation we have 2 ancestors.
In the second generation we have 4 ancestors or $2^{2}$ ancestors.
In the third generation we have 8 ancestors ot $2^{3}$ ancestors.

We can see that each succesive generation has two times more members. The sum is:
$2+4+8+16+...+ 2^{40}$

To calculate number of ancestors we can use formula <span>for the sum of a geometric sequence. Geometric sequence is sequence of numbers that differ by a certain factor. This factor is called ratio. Formula is:
</span> $S= a_{1} * \frac{1- r^{n} }{1-r}$
<span>Where:
S -> sum
a1 -> first member of a sequence
r -> ratio
n -> number of elements

For this question:
a1 = 2
r = 2
n = 40
</span> $S= 2* \frac{1- 2^{40} }{1-2} =2 199 023 255 550$
<span>
b.
1 generation = 25 years
40 generations = 40 * 25 = 1000 years

c.
Total number of people who have ever lived = </span> $10^{10}$
Number of ancestors in 40 generations = $2.2*10^{12}$

The number of ancestors is greater than total number of people who have ever lived. This means that not all ancestors were distinct and that in each generation both men and women had children with more than one partner.

The sum of 4 and 5 is subtracted from one-third of the difference of 40 and 4.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Sum of 4 and 5 → 4 + 5 = 9

Difference of 40 and 4 → 40 – 4 = 36

One-third 1/3 of 36 → 12

→ 12 – 9
