A farmer wants to build a new grain silo. The shape of the silo is to be a cylinder with a hemisphere on top, where the radius o

f the hemisphere is to be the same length as the radius of the base of the cylinder. The farmer would like the height of the silo’s cylinder portion to be 3 times the diameter of the base of the cylinder. What should the radius of the silo be if the silo is to hold 22,500 cubic feet of grain?

Answer:

about 10.24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

V = πr²h . . . . where h is the height and r is the radius

The formula for the volume of a sphere is ...

V = (4/3)πr³ = πr²·(4/3r) . . . . equivalent to a cylinder of height 4/3r

__

We have a cylinder of height 3d = 3(2r) = 6r. It has half a sphere on top, so the equivalent height of that is (1/2)·(4/3r) = 2/3r.

Then our total volume is equivalent to a cylinder with radius r and height (6 2/3)r = (20/3)r. That is, ...

22,500 ft³ = πr²·(20/3)r = (20π/3)r³

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of r³, then taking the cube root, we have ...

r = ∛(22,500·3/(20π)) ft ≈ 10.24 ft

The radius of the silo should be about 10.24 feet.

Find the gradients of lines A and B.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Gradient of line A = 4

Gradient of line B = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the formula for gradient passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ ,

Gradient (m) = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For line A,

Since, line A passes through (3, 6) and (4, 10)

Gradient of line A = $\frac{10-6}{4-3}$

= 4

For line B,

Since, line B passes through (1, 6) and (2, 4),

Gradient of line B = $\frac{6-4}{1-2}$

= -2

That would depend on what x is equal to. So, there's not enough information to fully determine an answer.
