A cereal company is exploring new cylinder-shaped containers. Two possible containers are shown in the diagram.x is 6 and r=4.5

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Container $\rm X$ will have less label area than container $\rm Y$ by about $9\; \rm in$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular sheet of paper can be rolled into a cylinder. Conversely, the lateral surface of a cylinder can be unrolled into a rectangle- without changing the area of that surface.

Indeed, the width of that rectangle will be the same as the height of the cylinder. On the other hand, the length of that rectangle should be exactly equal to the circumference of the circles on the top and the bottom of the cylinder. In other words, if a cylinder has a height of $h$ and a radius of $r$ at the top and the bottom, then its lateral surface can be unrolled into a rectangle of width $h$ and length $2\,\pi\, r$ .

Apply this reasoning to both cylinder $\mathrm{X}$ and $\rm Y$ :

For cylinder $\mathrm{X}$ , $h = 6\; \rm in$ while $r = 4.5\; \rm in$ . Therefore, when the lateral side of this cylinder is unrolled:

The width of the rectangle will be $6\; \rm in$ , while
The length of the rectangle will be $2 \, \pi \times 4.5\; \rm in = 9\, \pi\; \rm in$ .

That corresponds to a lateral surface area of $54\, \pi\; \rm in^2$ .

For cylinder $\rm Y$ , $h = 10.5\; \rm in$ while $r = 3\; \rm in$ . Similarly, when the lateral side of this cylinder is unrolled:

The width of the rectangle will be $10.5\; \rm in$ , while
The length of the rectangle will be $2\pi\times 3\; \rm in = 6\,\pi \; \rm in$ .

That corresponds to a lateral surface area of $63\,\pi \; \rm in^2$ .

Therefore, the lateral surface area of cylinder $\rm X$ is smaller than that of cylinder $\rm Y$ by $9\,\pi\; \rm in^2$ .

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone t

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

$x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0$ (1)
