An art student wishes to create a clay sphere as part of a sculpture. If the clay’s density is approximately 88 pounds per cubic

foot and the sphere’s radius is 2 feet, what is the weight of the sphere to the nearest pound? Use 3.14 for pi, and enter the number only.

Answer:

The weight of the sphere = 2947 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the volume of the sphere

- The volume of the sphere is 4/3 π r³, where r is the radius of

  the sphere

- Density = mass ÷ volume

- Mass is the weight and volume is the size, so density is weight

 divided through size

- Density = weight ÷ volume

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The clay's density ≅ 88 pounds/cubic foot

∵ The radius of the sphere is 2 feet

∵ The volume of the sphere = 4/3 π r³

∴ The volume of the sphere = 4/3 π (2)³ = 32/3 π feet³

∵ Density = weight/volume ⇒ by using cross multiply

∴ Weight = density × volume

∵ Density = 88 pounds/foot³

∵ Volume = 32/3 π feet³

∵ π = 3.14

∴ The weight of the sphere = 88 × 32/3 × 3.14 = 2947 pounds

Three interior angles of a quadrilateral have measures of 120°, 100°, and 75°. What's the measure of the fourth interior angle?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. So in order to find the 4th angle, you have to subtract the remaining angles from 360° :

θ + 120 + 100 + 75 = 360

θ  + 295 = 360

θ = 360 - 295

θ = 65

Consider the sequence: 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, ... Write a recursive definition.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The first term is 8, so a_{1} = 8

Each time we want a new term, we add on 3

8+3 = 11

11+3 = 14

14+3 = 17

17+3 = 20

23+3 = 26

and so on

This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: a_{n} = 3 + a_{n-1} which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"

Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.
