@Apologiabiology : A spherical water tank holds 11,000 ft^3 of water. What is the diameter of the tank? Hint: V = pi/6 d^3

1 answer:

7 0

V=(4/3)pir^3
2r=d

so
v=11000
11000=(4/3)pir^3
times both sides by 3/4
33000/4=pir^3
8250=pir^3
divide both sides by pi
8250/pi=r^3
cube root both sides
13.7965=r
double since 2r=d
27.5929=d

the diameter is 27.5929 or about 28ft

Solve the equation for x:
4x+12=48
Subtract 12 from both sides: 4x=36
Divide 4 from both sides to isolate x: x=9
