Anthony has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a diameter of 20 in. One day, his sink clogged and he had to

use a cylindrical cup to scoop the water out of the sink. The cup had a diameter of 4 in. and a height of 8 in.
(a) The sink was completely full when Anthony begon scooping. How many cups of water did he scoop out of the sink to empty it? round to the nearest whole number of scoops.
(b) If the cup had been cone-shaped with the same diameter and height as the cylindrical cup, how many more cups of water would he have needed to scoop to empty the sink?

The answers are:
(a) 21 
(b) 42

It is given:
SINK (sphere): d₁ = 2r₁ = 20 in       ⇒ r₁ = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 in
CUP (cylinder and conical): h₂ = 8 in, d₂ = 2r₂ = 4 in    ⇒ r₂ = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 in
π = 3.14

The volume of the sphere is: V = 4/3 π r³
The volume of the half-sphere is: V₁ = 1/2 * 4/3 π r₁³ = 2/3 π r₁³
              ⇒ V₁ = 2/3 · 3.14 · 10³ = 2,093.3 in³
The volume of the cylindrical cup is: V₂ = π r₂² h
              ⇒ V₂ = 3.14 · 2² · 8 = 100.5 in³
The volume of the conical cup is: V₃ = 1/3 π r₂² h
              ⇒ V₃ = 1/3 · 3.14 · 2² · 8 = 33.5 in³


(a) How many cups of water did <span>he </span>scoop out of the sink to empty it?
The answer is ratio between the volume of the half-sphere and the volume of the cylindrical cup:
\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{2,093.3in^{2} }{100.5 in^{2} } = 20.8 = 21


(b) <span>If the cup had been cone-shaped with the same diameter and height as the cylindrical cup, how many more cups of water would he have needed to scoop to empty the sink?
The answer is the difference between </span>ratio between the volume of the half-sphere and the volume of the conical cup and <span>ratio between the volume of the half-sphere and the volume of the cylindrical cup:
 </span>\frac{V_1}{V_3}- \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{2,093.3in^{2} }{33.5 in^{2} } - \frac{2,093.3in^{2} }{100.5 in^{2} }=62.5-20.8=41.7=42<span>

A regular-size box of cereal measures 3 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches by 15 inches. The manufacturer also sells an individual-size
Phoenix [80]

The individual-size box of cereal is a rectangular prism with a volume of 44.625 inches³.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

The volume of rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:

V = lwh.

In this problem, the standard dimensions are:

  • l = 3(1/2) = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 inches.
  • w = 8(1/2) = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 inches.
  • h = 15 inches.

The individual-size box has a 1/10 of the volume of the original box, hence:

V = 0.1 x 3.5 x 8.5 x 15 = 44.625 inches³.

Use the graph to find the
Dmitry [639]
The y intercept is 2, because that is the value of y when it crosses the y axis.

Since the line is pointing down, it has a negative slope, and since the y value goes down 2 for every 3 x values, the slope is -2/3. You should always right the slope in rise/run form, or change in y/change in x.

Finally, write the equation in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. This means the equation of the line is y=-2/3x+2.
