A square is inscribed in a circle with an area of 10 pi square inches. what is the area of the square

We need to determine the radius and diameter of the circle.  If the area of the circle is 10 pi in^2, then, according to the formula for the area of a circle,

A = 10 pi in^2 = pi*r^2.  Thus, 10 in^2 = r^2, and r = radius of circle = sqrt(10) in.

Thus, the diam. of the circle is 2sqrt(10) in.  This diam. has the same length as does the hypotenuse of one of the triangles making up the square.

Thus, [ 2*sqrt(10) ]^2 = x^2 + x^2, where x represents the length of one side of the square.  So, 4(10) in^2 = 2x^2.  Then:
                                 40 in^2  = 2x^2, or 20 in^2 = x^2, and so the length x of one side of the square is sqrt(20).  The area of the square is the square of this result:

Area of the square = x^2 = [ sqrt(20) ]^2 = 20 in^2 (answer).  Compare that to the 10 pi sq in area of the circle (31.42 in^2).

A solid rectangular box with height 5 m and square base with side lengths 4 m is built using a lightweight material whose densit
elena55 [62]

Answer:

627200LJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of box=5 m

Side of square base=4 m

Volume of rectangular box=l\times b\times h

Using the formula

Volume of rectangular box=4\times 4\times 5=80m^3

Density of material=800kg/m^3

We know that

Mass=Density\times volume

Using the formula

Mass of  rectangular box=80\times 800=64000 kg

Gravity=g=9.8m/s^2

Weight of  rectangular box,F=mg=64000\times 9.8 N

Let L  be the vertical distance traveled by box

Total work done =W=F\times displacement

Therefore,total work done against gravity =64000\times 9.8 L=627200 L J

Hence, the box requires work against gravity=627200LJ
