Answer:

The answer to your question is speed = 9 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Winner                                 Last runner

time = 45 s                           time = 48 s

speed = 9.6 m/s

Process

1) Calculate the distance they ran using the data of the winner

      speed = distance / time

-Solve for distance

      distance = speed x time

-Substitution

      distance = (9.6)(45)

-Result

      distance = 432 m

2.- Calculate the speed of the last runner

-Substitution

      speed = 432/48

-Result

     speed = 9 m/s

What is the volume of a cone that has a radius of 4 cm and a height of 9 cm?
vodka [1.7K]
For any sort of pyramid or cone, the volume is 1/3 of the volume of a prism with the same base and height. Since the volume of a prism/cylinder is V=Bh, the volume of a pyramid/cone is V=\frac{1}3Bh.

In this case, our base is a circle, which has a radius of 4 cm.
The area of a circle is A=\pi r^2 where r is the radius.
A=\pi (4)^2=\pi (4\times4)=16\pi=B

We now know that our base is 16π cm.
We also know that our height is 9 cm.
Let's plug these into our volume formula.

V=\frac{1}3\times16\pi \times9

Use 3.14 to approximate pi as the question states. 16 × 3.14 = 50.24.

V\approx\frac{1}3\times50.24\times9

We could punch all of that into our calculator to get the same answer, but since 1/3 of 9 is clearly 3, let's just go with that.

V\approx3\times50.24

\boxed{V\approx150.72\ cm^3}

New York City is building an outdoor skating rink that is circular. If the diameter of the circle is 92 meters, what is the area
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Hello there! The formula for finding the area of a circle is π * r². The radius is 1/2 of the diameter. The diameter is 92 meters ½ of 92 is 46. So we will raise 46 to the second power. 46² is 2,116. Now, let's multiply that by 3.14 to ffind the area of the circle. 2,116 * 3.14 is 6,644.24. There. The area of the ice skating rink is 6,644.24 square feet.

Answer:

48.56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle: 10+10+8+8

= 36cm

The half circle: 1/2 πd

=1/2x3.14X8

= 12.56

So, the total perimeter will be- 36+12.56

=48.56

Can someone please help me?? Im not quite sure how to get this answer.

Answer:

C. 54π + 20.25√3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area can be split into two areas: a sector and an isosceles triangle.

Area of a sector is:

A = (θ/360°) πr²

where θ is the central angle and r is the radius.

Area of an isosceles triangle can be found with SAS formula:

A = ½ ab sin θ

where a and b are two sides of a triangle and θ is the angle between them.

In this case, r = a = b = 9 cm.  The central angle of the sector is 240°, and the vertex angle of the triangle is 120°.  Therefore, the total area is:

A = (240°/360°) π (9 cm)² + ½ (9 cm) (9 cm) sin 120°

A = 54π + 20.25√3 cm²
