Answer:

Let P be the external point. O be the origin. join O and P get OP and nearest point on the circle from P be A.

Let Q be the point onthe circle  in which, tangent make 90° with radius at Q.

PQ = 8 and OQ = 6

we get a right angled triangle  PQO right angled at Q.

so, OP^2 = OQ^2 + PQ^2= 8^2 + 6^2 = 64 + 36 =1==

therefore OP =10cm

we need nearest point from P, which is PA

PA = OP - OA= 10 -6=4cm

A solid plastic ball is a sphere with a radius of 8 inches. How much plastic does it take to make one ball
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

2144.66in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = 8 inches.

To determine the amount of sphere to make the ball, we'll have to find its volume.

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 * Πr³

V = 4/3*Πr³

Π = 22/7

V = 4/3 * 22/7 * 8³

V = 2144.66inches³

V = 2144.66in³

The amount of plastic required is 2144.66in³.

Hi does anyone know how to solve this question if so please show the working out.
tester [92]

Explanation:

The Law of Sines is your friend, as is the Pythagorean theorem.

Label the unmarked slanted segments "a" and "b" with "b" being the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and "a" being the common segment between the 45° and 60° angles.

Then we have from the Pythagorean theorem ...

  b² = 4² +(2√2)² = 24

  b = √24

From the Law of Sines, we know that ...

  b/sin(60°) = a/sin(θ)

  y/sin(45°) = a/sin(φ)

Solving the first of these equations for "a" and the second for "y", we get ...

  a = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)

and ...

  y = a·sin(45°)/sin(φ)

Substituting for "a" into the second equation, we get ...

  y = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)·sin(45°)/sin(φ) = (b·sin(45°)/sin(60°))·sin(θ)/sin(φ)

So, we need to find the value of the coefficient ...

  b·sin(45°)/sin(60°) = (√24·(√2)/2)/((√3)/2)

  = √(24·2/3) = √16 = 4

and that completes the development:

  y = 4·sin(θ)/sin(φ)
