A sports company wants to package a ball with a 1.5-inch radius in sets of two. They have two options: a cylinder or a square pr

ism.
The company wants to use the package that has the least amount of wasted space. The company should choose

a.)the prism because it has approximately 11.6 in.3 less wasted space than the cylinder.
b.)the prism because it has approximately 14.1 in.3 less wasted space than the cylinder.
c.)the cylinder because it has approximately 11.6 in.3 less wasted space than the prism.
d.)the cylinder because it has approximately 14.1 in.3 less wasted space than the prism.

Answer:

C. the cylinder because it has approximately 11.6 in.3 less wasted space than the prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

if you find the volumes of both shapes and subtract the volumes of the two balls and then subtract the two remaining values you get a difference of 11.6 inches. This makes the cylinder smaller and therefore uses less space.

Answer:

Option c.) the cylinder because it has approximately 11.6 in.3 less wasted space than the prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of one ball

The volume of the sphere is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

we have

r=1.5\ in

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(1.5)^{3}=14.13\ in^{3}

therefore

The volume of two balls is

(2)*14.13=28.26\ in^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the cylinder

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=1.5\ in

h=1.5*4=6\ in

substitute

V=(3.14)(1.5)^{2}(6)=42.39\ in^{3}

therefore

The wasted space with the cylinder is equal to

42.39\ in^{3}-28.26\ in^{3}=14.13\ in^{3}

step 3

Find the volume of the square prism

The volume of the square prism is equal to

V=b^{2}h

we have

b=1.5*2=3\ in

h=1.5*4=6\ in

substitute

V=(3)^{2}(6)=54\ in^{3}

therefore

The wasted space with the prism is equal to

54\ in^{3}-28.26\ in^{3}=25.74\ in^{3}

step 4

Find the difference of the wasted space

25.74\ in^{3}-14.13\ in^{3}=11.61\ in^{3}

Permiter math equation help pls
Anestetic [448]

Hi

First dont panic. this one is pretty easy.

you known that the perimeter is the addition of every sides of a figure.

you have the total perimeter : 84.6

so now you just have to withdraw every side you have to the total , and the missing measure will be the result.

have a try ! you can make it.

An object is launched from a platform.
Bess [88]

Answer:

60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height, h (in meters), of the object launched from a platform is represented by the equation

h=h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60

where x is the time (in seconds) passed after the launch.

The time of launch is x=0 (0 seconds passed after the launch)

Substitute x=0 to find the height:

h=h(0)=-5\cdot 0^2+20\cdot 0+60=60\ feet

If the original function () = 22 − 1 is shifted to the left 3 units to make the
Rom4ik [11]

A horizontal translation is expressed by transforming

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

If k is positive, the function is translated to the left. If k is negative, the function is translated to the right.

So, a 3-units left shift is given by k=3. So you have

f(x)=2x^2-1 \implies f(x+3)=2(x+3)^2-1
