In the United States, 13 out of every 20 cans are recycled.What percent of cans are recycled?

1 answer:

5 0

65% (N=what percentage) because 13 over 20 divided by n over 100 = 20n = 13(100) = 20n=1300 and then to divide, 20n / 20 = 1300 / 20 = n= 65 or 65%

Find the standard equation of a sphere that has diameter with the end points given below. (3,-2,4) (7,12,4)

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The standard equation of the sphere is $(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the end point are (3,-2,4) and (7,12,4)

Since we know the end points of the diameter, we can determine the center (midpoint of the two end points) of the sphere.

The midpoint can be calculated thus

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Let the first endpoint be represented as $(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1})$ and the second endpoint be $(x_{2}, y_{2}, z_{2})$ .

Hence,

Midpoint = $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2} }{2}, \frac{z_{1} + z_{2} }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{3 + 7 }{2}, \frac{-2+12 }{2}, \frac{4 + 4 }{2})$

Midpoint = $(\frac{10 }{2}, \frac{10}{2}, \frac{8 }{2})\\$

Midpoint = $(5, 5, 4)$

This is the center of the sphere.

Now, we will determine the distance (diameter) of the sphere

The distance is given by

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2}- z_{1})^{2} }$

$d = \sqrt{(7 - 3)^{2} +(12 - -2)^{2} + (4- 4)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{(4)^{2} +(14)^{2} + (0)^{2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 +196 + 0$

$d =\sqrt{212}$

$d = 2\sqrt{53}$

This is the diameter

To find the radius, r

From $Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2}$

$Radius = \frac{2\sqrt{53} }{2}$

∴ $Radius = \sqrt{53}$

r = $\sqrt{53}$

Now, we can write the standard equation of the sphere since we know the center and the radius

Center of the sphere is $(5, 5, 4)$

Radius of the sphere is $\sqrt{53}$

The equation of a sphere of radius r and center $(h,k,l)$ is given by

$(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} + (z-l)^{2} = r^{2}$

Hence, the equation of the sphere of radius $\sqrt{53}$ and center $(5, 5, 4)$ is

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = \sqrt{(53} )^{2}$

$(x-5)^{2} + (y-5)^{2} + (z-4)^{2} = 53$

This is the standard equation of the sphere

Ken grew 4/5 of an inch last year. Sang grew 3/8 of an inch. Who grew more and by how much?

bonufazy [111]

Ken grew .425 of an inch more than sang because 4/5 is .8 and 3/8 is .375 what you do is you take those two numbers and subtract the smaller one from the bigger one and you get .425 and ken had the bigger growth. plz rate me brainliest
