Answer:

305 tennis balls should fit

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the machine is length * width * height

So Volume of Machine = 15 * 15 * 14 = 3150

Volume of Sphere is  V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Where

V is volume and r is radius (half of diameter)

Since 2.7 is diameter, 2.7/2 = 1.35 inches is radius

Volume of 1 tennis ball = V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (1.35)^3\\V=10.3 (rounded to 1 decimal)

We simply divide the volume of the machine by volume of 1 tennis ball to get number of tennis balls:

3150/10.3 = 305.82

the fractional amount (.82) won't be possible so the max number of balls possible is 305 balls

The center of a circle is at (-5 12) and it has a radius of 16. what is the equation of the circle?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

(x+5)^2+(y-12)^2=256

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the given (x+5)^2+(y-12)^2=256

to                                   (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2,  

we see that h must be -5, k must be 12 and r must be 16.  This is the desired equation of the circle with center at (-5, 12) and radius 16.

I need help with this question please.​
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotational symmetry is defined as a figure having the same appearance when rotated by a certain angle.

The wheel has 12 "handles." We can use these as reference points when rotating the image.

We also know that we can rotate by a total of 360 degrees. We can say that:

360/12 = 30 degrees.

Each time you rotate the wheel by 30 degrees, the image will end up on another handle (looks the same). This shows rotational symmetry.

I hope this helps!

An envelope is 3 inches wide, and it measures 7 inches along the diagonal. What is the envelope’s length? If necessary, round to
Crank

The length of the envelope is 6.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the envelope = 3 inches

Diagonal of the envelope = 7 inches

To find:

The length of the envelope.

Let the length of the envelope be 'l'

We can use pythogoras theorem to calculate the length.

l = √(49-9)

l = √(40)

l = 6.3 inches

The length of the envelope is 6.3 inches

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Gelneren [198K]
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y.  Here is how the equation is set up:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7.  Now it equals:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

Now we add these two equations together to get:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10.  This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.

Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y.  I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90.  Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends.  Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
