Answer:

The volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box is 4r^{3}(6 - \pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment below shows the description of the rectangular bow and the three spherical balls.

From the description,  

  • Two of the balls are each touching 5 sides of the rectangular box, say the 5 sides touched by one of the balls are sides 1,2,3,4, and 5; then the other ball will touch sides 2,3,4,5, and 6).  
  • The middle ball also touches four sides of the rectangular box, These four sides touched by the middle ball will be sides 2,3,4, and 5.

This means the balls are tightly fitted into the rectangular box.

Each of the balls has a radius r

Hence, The volume of one of the balls is given by the volume of a sphere

Volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

The volume occupied by one of the balls is \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

∴ The volume occupied by the three spherical balls will be

3 × \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

= 4\pi r^{3}

The volume occupied by the three spherical balls 4\pi r^{3}

For the rectangular box,

The volume of a rectangular box = l w h

Where l\\ is the length

w is the width and

h is the height

Since the balls are tightly packed,

The width of the rectangular box will be the diameter of the balls

diameter of the balls = 2r

∴ w = 2r

The height of the rectangular box will also be the diameter of the balls

∴ h = 2r

The length of the rectangular box will be 3 times the diameter of the balls

∴l = 3 × 2r = 6r

Hence,

The volume of a rectangular box = 6r × 2r × 2r

= 24r³

The volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box is given by

Volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box =

volume of the rectangular box -  volume occupied by the three spherical balls

Volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box= 24r³ - 4πr³

=  24r³ - 4πr³

= 4r³(6 - π)

Find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0, 2pi). COS X = sin 2x​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cos x=sin 2x

sin 2x-cos x=0

2 sin x cos x-cos x=0

cos x(2 sin x-1)=0

either cos x=0

x=\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{3\pi }{2}

or

2 sin x-1=0

sin x=\frac{1}{2} =sin (\frac{\pi }{6}),sin(\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} )\\x=\frac{\pi }{6} ,\frac{5 \pi }{6}

The table below shows the number of cameras made when an assembly line runs at a constant rate for a certain number of hours. Nu
jeka57 [31]

Computing the rate we get:

\frac{300}{10}\frac{cameras}{\text{hour}}=30\frac{cameras}{\text{hour}}

Then, when the assembly line runs at the same rate for 24 hours they will produce:

24\text{hour}\cdot30\frac{cameras}{\text{hour}}=720\text{ cameras}

Answer: Option C) 720.

At a country concert, the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls is 2:7. If there are 250 more girls than boys, how many
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

When changing the ratio between the number of boys to the number of girls, it always has to be equivalent to the original ratio 2:7

So, convert the ratio 2:7 to a different ratio, but it still has to be equivalent to the ratio 2:7. By doing that, multiply both sides of the 2:7 ratio by 50:

  2   :   7

×50   ×50

To get:

100:350  ⇒  This ratio means that the ratio between the number of boys to the number of girls is now 100:350, but that’s okay to have because it’s still equivalent to the original 2:7 ratio.

So, using the new ratio 100:350, this means that there are 100 boys at the concert and 350 girls at the concert, and 350 is 250 more than 100 which proves what the question is asking. So there are 100 boys at the concert.

<u>Answer:</u> 100 boys at the concert

If 588 digits were used to number the pages of a book how many pages are in this book.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 232 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Total digits = 588

1 digit page number:

1 to 9 = 1 × 9 = 9

Number of pages = 9/1 = 9

2 - digit page number :

10 - 99 = 2 × 90 = 180

Number of pages = 180/2 = 90

3 - digit page number :

588 - (9 + 180) = 588 - 189 = 399

Number of pages with 3 - digits = 399/3 = 133

Therefore, the total number of pages the book has is :

(9 + 90 + 133) = 232 pages
