Answer:

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the paper water cup

The volume of the cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=6\ cm

h=12\ cm

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^{2}(12)

V=144\pi\ cm^{3}

step 2

If the cup is filled with water to half its height, find out what portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem the similar cone has half the height of the complete cone

so

The scale factor is equal to 1/2

therefore

The volume of the cup that is filled with water is equal to the volume of the complete cup by the scale factor elevated to the cube

V=(1/2)^{3}(144\pi)=(1/8)144\pi\ cm^{3}

therefore

The portion of the volume of the cup that is filled with water is

\frac{1}{8}

Answer:

Exactly _\frac{1}{8}__ of the cup is filled with water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Where

r is de radius

h is the height

So the volume of the cone is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2*12

V=144\pi\ cm^3

The angle z that is opposite the radius of the cone is:

tan(z)=\frac{r}{h}=\frac{6}{12}\\\\z =tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{12})\\\\z=26.565\°

The amount of water that fills half the cone occupies the volume of a cone with radius R, height \frac{h}{2} and angle z = 26.565°

Therefore we have that:

\frac{h}{2}=6\ cm

and

tan(z)=\frac{r}{h}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{r}{h}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{6}{12}=\frac{R}{6}

\frac{R}{6}=0.5

R=3

Then portion of the volume of the cup is filled with water is:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2(6)

V=18\pi\ cm^3

v =\frac{18\pi\ cm^3}{144\pi\ cm^3}\\\\\V =\frac{1}{8}

german
You need to set up a portportation to solve this question to do so you need to know that 3 tenths is 30% so you can do:

30/100 = x/1.7

So now you cross multiply doing 30X17=510
Finially X=510/100
Simpified Answer is 5.1 liters

2 1/3 −1.5x=12.3 please help me I'm really struggling need an answer ASAP.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

-6.64

Step-by-step explanation:

since you need to find the value of x , but all values to one side and have x on the other .. meaning :

2 1/3 -12.3 = 1.5x

now that you have this find the decimal value of 2 1/3

which is 2*3 +1 = 7/3

in decimal form is 2.33333...

now subtract  (2.3333.. - 12.3 ) / 1.5

x = -6.6444

to 3 sf = -6.64

Help please I am confused?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Given m∠RST = (15x - 10)o

Using angle addition postulate:

m∠RST = m∠RSP + m∠PST (15x - 10)= (x + 25)+ (5x + 10)(15x - 10)=

so your answer would be (6x+35)
