Answer:

8\pi\text{ square cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that,

The surface area of a cylinder having both ends in both sides,

S=2\pi rh

Where,

r = radius,

h = height,

Given,

Diameter of the sphere = 4 cm,

So, by using Pythagoras theorem,

4^2 = (2r)^2 + h^2   ( see in the below diagram ),

16 = 4r^2 + h^2

16 - 4r^2 = h^2

\implies h=\sqrt{16-4r^2}

Thus, the surface area of the cylinder,

S=2\pi r(\sqrt{16-4r^2})

Differentiating with respect to r,

\frac{dS}{dr}=2\pi(r\times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{16-4r^2}}\times -8r + \sqrt{16-4r^2})

=2\pi(\frac{-4r^2+16-4r^2}{\sqrt{16-4r^2}})

=2\pi(\frac{-8r^2+16}{\sqrt{16-4r^2}})

Again differentiating with respect to r,

\frac{d^2S}{dt^2}=2\pi(\frac{\sqrt{16-4r^2}\times -16r + (-8r^2+16)\times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{16-4r^2}}\times -8r}{16-4r^2})

For maximum or minimum,

\frac{dS}{dt}=0

2\pi(\frac{-8r^2+16}{\sqrt{16-4r^2}})=0

-8r^2 + 16 = 0

8r^2 = 16

r^2 = 2

\implies r = \sqrt{2}

Since, for r = √2,

\frac{d^2S}{dt^2}=negative

Hence, the surface area is maximum if r = √2,

And, maximum surface area,

S = 2\pi (\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{16-8})

=2\pi (\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{8})

=2\pi \sqrt{16}

=8\pi\text{ square cm}

I need help on number 3 please
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=10}\\\\\boxed{40^o,\ 50^o,\ 90^o}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the right triangle. The sum of the angles measured in the right triangle is 90 °. Therefore we have the equation:

4x+(6x-10)=90[/tex][tex]4x+6x-10=90  <em>                 add 10 to both sides</em>

10x=100           <em>divide both sides by 10</em>

x=10

The measure of angles:

Put the value of x to the eqpressions:

6x-10\to6(10)-10=60-10=50\\\\4x\to4(10)=40
