Answer:

\sqrt{28} \approx 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem says if you have a right triangle, then relationship between the three sides is the sum of the square of each leg is the hypotenuse squared.

So a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Plug in your a,b, and c. In this case it is a,6, and 8.

This means we have

a^2+6^2=8^2

Simplify where you can before we begin the solving (the moving around of things to other sides).

a^2+36=64

Now time for the solving. We are first going to get a^2 by itself.

To do this, we just need to subtract 36 on both sides giving us:

a^2=64-36

a^2=28

Now to get rid of the square on a, just square root both sides:

a=\sqrt{28}.

3. A prop for the theater club’s play is constructed as a cone topped with a half-sphere. What is the volume of the prop? Round
Mariana [72]

The volume of the prop is calculated to be 2,712.96 cubic inches.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The prop consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top. We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying  \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.14. The radius is 9 inches and the height is 14 inches.

The volume of the cone :  V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3} = 3.14 \times 9^{2} \times \frac{14}{3} = 1,186.92 cubic inches.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere. The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying  \frac{4}{3} with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 9 inches. We take π as 3.14.

The volume of a full sphere =  V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} =  \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 9^{3} = 3,052.08 cubic inches.

The volume of the half-sphere =  \frac{3,052.08}{2} = 1,526.04 cubic inches.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume = 1,186.92 + 1,526.04 = 2,712.96 cubic inches.

1. A box contains 10 blue Stickers, 15 red stickers , and 25 orange stickers . A sticker is selected and its color noted. Then i
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1/25 ; 3/20 ; 3/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of stickers :

(10 + 15 + 25) = 50 stickers

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

a. Selecting blue and blue stickers

P(First blue) = 10/50 = 1/5

P(second blue) = 10/50 = 1/5

1/5 * 1/5 = 1 / 25

b. Selecting one red sticker and then one orange sticker

P(First red) = 15/50 = 3/10

P(second orange) = 25/50 = 1/2

3/10 * 1/2 = 3 /20

Selecting one red sticker and then one blue sticker

P(First red) = 15/50 = 3/10

P(second blue) = 10/50 = 1/5

3/10 * 1/5 = 3 / 50
