Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In circle S: XB and XD are tangents at B and D

then SB perpendicular to AX and SD perpendicular to XC

In triangle SDX: SD = 12 and SX =20 by using Pythagoras Theorem

$XD=\sqrt{20^{2} -12^{2} }=16$

XD = XB tangents to circle S from point X

XA = XC tangents to circle R from point X

then BA = DC = 15

then XC = XD + DC = 16 + 15 = 31

A machine stamps 360 metal parts in 15 minutes. Find the unit rate in parts per hour

Leviafan [203]

Just divide the number of parts made by the number of hours to get parts per hour. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so we divide 360 by 0.25 hours:

$(\frac{360\ parts}{0.25\ hours}) = 1440\ parts\ per\ hour$

The surface area of a sphere is 576pi square units. Which choice represents the volume of the sphere?

Leona [35]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{V=2304\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a surface area of a sphere:

$S.A.=4\pi R^2$

R - radius

We have

$S.A.=576\pi$

Substitute and solve for R:

$4\pi R^2=576\pi$ <em>divide both sides by π</em>

$4R^2=576$ <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

$R^2=144\to R=\sqrt{144}\\\\R=12$

The formula of a volume of a sphere:

$V+\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3$

Substitute:

$V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(12^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(1728)=(4)\pi(576)=2304\pi$
