A cylinder has a height of 16 cm and a radius of 5 cm. A cone has a height of 12 cm and a radius of 4 cm. If the cone is placed
Archy [21]
Volume of Cylinder
= πr²h
= (3.14)(5)²(16)
= 1256 cm³

Volume of Cone
= 1/3πr²h
= 1/3(3.14)(4)²(12)
= 200.96 cm³

Volume of air space
= Volume of Cylinder - Volume of Cone
= 1256 - 200.96
= 1055.04 cm³
≈ 1055 cm³ (nearest whole number)

A rocket lifted off from a launch pad and traveled vertically 30 km, then traveled 40 km at 30 degrees from the vertical, and th
nika2105 [10]
Well, we are told that in the beginning, it has traveled 30km vertically, so do not forget to add that on at the end.

Next it says that it traveled 40km 30 degrees from vertical, so we set up a sin equation to solve for the missing side, n:

sin(angle)= opposite/hypotenuse:

sin(30) = n/40

40sin30=n

n=20km

Then it says at an angle of 45 degrees, it goes 100km. This means that we are given the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and we need to find the side that goes up and down. We shall call this length x.

We know that the angle opposite x is 45 degrees.

So, we will use sin to solve for x:

sin(angle)= opposite/hypotenuse

sin45= x/100

100sin45=x

x=70.711km

But remember, I said not to forget about that 30km from the very beginning? So we add up all of our vertical heights:

30km + 20km+ 70.711km = 120.711km

25 is what percent less than 35
mars1129 [50]
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
                                                 = 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
                                                                 = (2/7) * 100
                                                                 = 200/7
                                                                 = 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you can do such type of problems without needing any help.
