Three balls are packaged in a cylindrical container as shown below. The balls just touch the top, bottom, and sides of the cylin

der. The diameter of each ball is 13 cm.
a. What is the volume of the cylinder? Explain your method for finding the volume.
b. What is the total volume of the three balls? Explain your method for finding the total volume.
c. What percent of the volume of the container is occupied by the three balls? Explain how you would find the percent.

A. The volume of the cylinder can be computed because the statement "<span>The balls just touch the top, bottom, and sides of the cylinder" gives a clue of the height and radius of the cylinder. The height is equal to 3 times the diameter of the balls, and its radius is the same as the balls' radius.

Vcylinder = </span>πr^2h = π(13/2)^2 (3*13) = 5176.56 cm^3

B. The volume of the three balls is computed using the equation of V for spheres:

Vball = 3*4*π*r^2/3 = 3451.05 cm^3

C. The answer is the equal to the total volume of the balls divided by the volume of the cylinder

3451.05(100%)/5176.56 = 66.67%

We know the following:
Cylinder volume: V₁ = π r² h
Ball (sphere) volume:V₂ = \frac{4}{3} π r³
where:
V - volume
r - radius of base of cylinder and diameter of ball
h - height of cylinder.

R = 13 cm ⇒ r = 13 ÷ 2 = 6.5
π = 3.14

a) Since balls touch all sides of cylinder (as shown in image), it can be concluded that height of cylinder is equal to sum of diameters of 3 balls and that radius of base of cylinder is equal to radius of ball:
h = 3 × r = 3 × 13 cm = 39 cm
r = 6.5 cm
So,
V₁ = <span>π r² h
</span><span>V₁ = </span>3.14 × (6.5 cm)² × 39 cm
V₁ = 5,173.9 cm³

b. The total volume of three balls is the sum of volumes of each ball:
Vₐ = 3 × <span>V₂ 
</span>Vₐ = 3 × <span>\frac{4}{3} π r³
</span>Vₐ = 3 × \frac{4}{3} 3.14<span> (6.5 cm)³</span>
Vₐ = 3,449.3 cm³

c. Percentage of the volume of the container occupied by three balls ould be expressed as ratio of volume of three balls and volume of cylinder:
V = \frac{ V_{1}}{ V_{a} } ×100 
V = \frac{3,449.3}{5,173.9} ×100
V = 0.6666 ×100
V = 66.66%

Find the total number of diagonals in a regular nonagon.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

number of diagonals in a regular polygon = number of sides - 2.

A nonagon is a polygon having 9 sides.

Total number of diagonals in a regular nonagon

= 9 - 2

= 7

Find the two smallest possible solutions to part 1a​
bixtya [17]
<h3>Answer: A. 5/12, 25/12</h3>

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

Work Shown:

12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 = 16

12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 16-10

12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 6

sin(2pi/5*x) = 6/12

sin(2pi/5*x) = 0.5

2pi/5*x = arcsin(0.5)

2pi/5*x = pi/6+2pi*n or 2pi/5*x = 5pi/6+2pi*n

2/5*x = 1/6+2*n or 2/5*x = 5/6+2*n

x = (5/2)*(1/6+2*n) or x = (5/2)*(5/6+2*n)

x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n

these equations form the set of all solutions. The n is any integer.

--------

The two smallest positive solutions occur when n = 0, so,

x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n

x = 5/12+5*0 or x = 25/12+5*0

x = 5/12 or x = 25/12

--------

Plugging either x value into the expression 12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 should yield 16, which would confirm the two answers.

Need help! much appreciated
Volgvan

Answer:

C-D = <u>6</u>

A-B = <u>3.25</u>

D = <u>118</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

C-D = 6 because the line is the same as B-C

A-B = 3.25 because the line is the same as A-D

D = 118 because the angle of B is vertically opposite to D
