Answer:

QC - PB = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given PQ is parallel to BC then it divides the sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{AP}{AQ}$ = $\frac{PB}{QC}$ = $\frac{15}{24}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ , then

$\frac{PB}{QC}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ ( cross- multiply )

8PB = 5QC → *

Given PB + QC = 26 , then

PB = 26 - QC

Substitute into *

8(26 - QC) = 5QC ← distribute left side

208 - 8QC = 5QC ( subtract 5QC from both sides )

208 - 13QC = 0 ( subtract 208 from both sides )

- 13QC = - 208 ( divide both sides by - 13 )

QC = 16

Thus PB = 26 - QC = 26 - 16 = 10

QC - PB = 16 - 10 = 6

A dome of a building is in the form of a hemisphere from inside it was whitewashed at the cost of rupees 4989.60 if the cost of

Luda [366]

Answer: $249.48\ m^2; 369.168\ m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost of white-washing =Rs. 4989.60

Rate =20 per meter square

So, inside area of = $\dfrac{4989.60}{20}=249.48\ m^2$

The surface area of dome= $4\pi\ r^2=249.48$

$4\times 3.142\times r^2=249.48\\r^2=\frac{249.48}{4\times 3.142}=19.85\\r=4.455\ m$

The volume of air in the dome $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.142\cdot (4.45)^3\\V=369.17\ m^3$
