Answer:

55.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The range finder is 92 feet from the building and 106 feet from the top of the building i.e. hypotheses

We will use the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 = 106^2 - 92^2

= 11,236 -  8,464

= 2,772

= √2,772

x = 52.64978632

The height of the building:

h = x + 3

= 52.64978632 + 3

= 55.64978632

or

≈ 55.64 feet

The area of a square garden is 50 m3. How long is the diagonal?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of a square is 50 m2, then the length of each side will be \sqrt{50} m, to get the diagonal length, after dividing the square by joining the points of the diagonal with a line, it forms two right angles with length \sqrt{50} m each.

the diagonal length represent the hypotenuse side of each of the right angle, knowing the pythagoras theorem:

(hyp)^{2} = (opp)^{2}   + (Adj)^{2}, so we have:

(diagonal)^{2}  = 50 + 50

(diagonal)^{2}  = 100

diagonal = 10 m

What is the only unknown (variable) needed to find the volume of a sphere?
yuradex [85]

Sphere

The radius of the sphere is the only unknown variable need to find the volume of a sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sphere is a geometrical three dimensional round figure with every point on its surface equidistant from its center. It is a three dimensional representation of a circle. A line which connects from the center to the surface is called radius of the sphere.The diameter of the sphere is the longest straight line which passes through the center of the sphere.

The volume of sphere is given by:

Volume of sphere(V) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} \\

where V is the volume of the sphere

r is the radius of the sphere

\pi = \frac{22}{7}  = 3.14

Hence the only unknown variable to find the volume of a sphere is the radius.
