Find the volume of cylinder<br> Diameter of base is 11 cm<br> Height of cylinder is 16cm

just olya [345]

Answer:

1520.5 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume formula for cylinder: V = πr²×h

Radius = 11 ÷ 2

= 5.5cm

Volume = π × 5.5² × 16

=1520.5cm³

The radius of the base of a cylinder is decreasing at a rate of 121212 kilometers per second. The height of the cylinder is fixe

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

7536 $km^3/sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate of decreasing of radius = 12 km/sec

Height of cylinder is fixed at = 2.5 km

Radius of cylinder = 40 km

To find:

The rate of change of Volume of the cylinder?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for volume of a cylinder.

$Volume = \pi r^2h$

Where $r$ is the radius and

$h$ is the height of cylinder.

As per question statement:

$r$ = 40 km (variable)

$h$ = 2.5 (constant)

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}\pi r^2h$

As $\pi, h$ are constant:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d}{dt} r^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2 r\dfrac{dr}{dt} \\$Putting the values:$\\\Rigghtarrow\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 3.14 \times 2.5\times 2 \times 40\times 12 \\\Rigghtarrow\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 7536\ km^3/sec$

Anna has a 25-meter-long fence that she plans to use to enclose a rectangular garden of width w. The fencing will be placed arou

Leviafan [203]

<h3>Answer: -2w^2 + 25w = 25 or -2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0</h3>

================================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The width is w. We have two opposite and parallel sides equal to this. The other two parallel congruent sides are L = 25-2w meters long. We start with the total amount of fencing, and then subtract off the two width values, so 25-w-w = 25-2w.

The area of the rectangle is

Area = length*width

Area = L*W

Area = (25-2w)*w

Area = 25w - 2w^2

Area = -2w^2 + 25w

Set this equal to the desired area (25 square meters) to get

-2w^2 + 25w = 25

and we can subtract 25 from both sides to get everything on one side

-2w^2 + 25w - 25 = 0

side note: The two approximate solutions of this equation are w = 1.0961 and w = 11.4039 (use the quadratic formula or a graphing calculator to find this)
