408.454 cubic inches of air is surrounding the ball in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

When a sphere is inscribed in a cube and touching all of its faces, then

  • The diameter of the sphere = the side of the cube
  • The empty volume of the cube is the difference between the volume of the cube and the volume of the sphere

∵ The basketball is shaped a sphere

∵ The box is shaped a cube

∵ The ball touching every wall of the box

∴ The diameter of the ball = the side of the box

∵ The length of one side of the cube = 9.5 inches

∴ The diameter of the ball = 9.5 inches

∵ The diameter of the ball = 2 r, where r is the radius of the ball

∴ 9.5 = 2 r

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ r = 4.75 inches

∵ The volume of the air that surrounded the ball in the box =

   volume of the box - volume of the ball

∵ Volume box (cube) = s³

∵ s = 9.5 inches

∴ Volume of the box = (9.5)³

∴ Volume of the box = 857.375 inches³

∵ Volume the ball (sphere) =  \frac{4}{3} π r³

∵ r = 4.75

∴ Volume the ball = \frac{4}{3} (π)(4.75)³

∴ Volume the ball = 448.921 inches³

Substitute the values of the volumes of the box and the ball in the rule above

∴ The volume of the air = 857.375 - 448.921

∴ The volume of the air = 408.454 inches³

408.454 cubic inches of air is surrounding the ball in the box

Which graphed line represents an equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a point on the line of (1, - 1)? A) red line
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = change in y/change in x

slope = -1

Find the y-intercept

x value difference between (0,0) and (1,-1) = 1

if change in x = 1 then change in y = -1 so y-intercept = -1 + 1 = 0

y = -x + 0

Number 17 and 16 plz help
fgiga [73]
Hi. Okay, #16 says write a decimal between 0.5 and 0.75. Then write it as a fraction in simplest form and as a percent.

write a decimal = I will pick 0.15 - now we need to write it as a fraction since the 5 is in the hundredths place our fractions would be:

15/100 = 3/20 (simplest form)

Now to change .15 to a percent we simply move the decimal two places to the right and add a % sign so. 15 = 15%

Question 17
How would you write 43 3/4% as a decimal

For this one, it is a lot easier than you think. The answer is 43.75. Let me tell you how...

To change 3/4 to a decimal, you are merely dividing the 4 into 3.00, hence the .75 and then just bring the 43 over. With problem like this that end in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 just think of 4 quarters---1 quarter =.24, 2 quarters = .50, 3 quarters =.75

Question 16 answer is: .15,  15/100=3/20 and 15%
Question 17 answer is: 43.75

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care,

The transformed equation y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3 compared to the parent function involves  translating the parent function to the right by 2 units, reflecting the function across the y-axis and translating the function 3 units down

<h3>How to compare the function to its parent function?</h3>

The equation of the transformed function is given as:

y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3

While the equation of the parent function is given as

y = x^2

Start by translating the parent function to the right by 2 units.

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (x - 2, y)

So, we have:

y = (x - 2)^2

Next, reflect the above function across the y-axis

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (-x, y)

So, we have:

y = -(x - 2)^2

Lastly, translate the above function 3 units down

This is represented as:

(x, y) = (x, y - 3)

So, we have:

y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3

Hence, the transformed equation y = -(x - 2)^2 - 3 compared to the parent function involves  translating the parent function to the right by 2 units, reflecting the function across the y-axis and translating the function 3 units down
