Quick answer: 5.4 pounds for a ball 3" in radius.
Remark
You are expected to do this by calling 4/3*pi = some constant k

Givens
r = 2 inches
r1 = 3 inches

Ratio
\frac{W1}{W2} =  \frac{k r^3}{k (r1)^3}

Sub and solve 
Begin by cancelling out the ks.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{r^3}{(r1)^3}

Next substitute for the 2 rs.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{2^3}{3^3}

Now expand the 2 cubic amounts.
\frac{W1}{W2} = \frac{8}{27}

Conclusion Part One
The ratio of the two weights is 8/27

Part Two
Set up the ratio for 1.6 pounds to x
\frac{8}{27} = \frac{1.6}{x}

Cross multiply
8*x = 27 * 1.6  Combine the right side.
8x = 43.2    Divide by 8
x = 43.2 / 8
x = 5.4 pounds.    

If you take physics, you will do this quite frequently.

Check the picture below.

now, an angle bisector I assume, since it intersects the opposite segment at D and then at E.  An angle bisector cuts an angle in two equal halves, so if ∡CAB is 82°, that just means that ∡CAE is one of those halves, or 41°.

What is the simplified form of the following expression? 2 Sqrt 18+3 Sqrt 2 + Sqrt 162
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

2√18 + 3√2 + √162

= 2√(9 * 2) + 3√2 + √(81 * 2)

= (2 * 3)√2 + 3√2 + 9√2

= 6√2 + 3√2 + 9√2

= (6 + 3 + 9)√2

= 18√2
