How to find volume of a rectangular prism ith surface area, width and length but no height

This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 681

Answer:

680 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that 681 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament.

1st round:

One of 681 players, chosen at random, sits out that round and 680 players play. There will be 340 winners plus one player which sits - 341 players for the next round and 340 games

2nd round:

There will be 170 winners plus one player which sits - 171 players for the next round and 170 games

3rd round:

There will be 85 winners plus one player which sits - 86 players for the next round and 85 games

4th round:

There will be 43 winners - 43 players for the next round and 43 games

5th round:

There will be 21 winners plus one player which sits - 22 players for the next round and 21 games

6th round:

There will be 11 winners - 11 players for the next round and 11 games

7th round:

There will be 5 winners plus one player which sits - 6 players for the next round and 5 games

8th round:

There will be 3 winners - 3 players for the next round and 3 games

9th round:

There will be 1 winner plus one player which sits - 2 players for the next round and 1 game

10th round - final:

1 champion and 1 game.

In total,

340 + 170 + 85 + 43 + 21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 680 games

Answer:

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps

1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)

2. To solve this problem we must find the area of the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)

$A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )$

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{d}{R})$

3. observing the attached images we replace the values in the equations and find the area of the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians

$\alpha =2arccos(\frac{5}{7})=88.83$
