Answer:
The area of the resulting cross section is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The resulting cross section is a circle congruent with the circle of the base of cylinder
therefore
The area is equal to
we have
-----> the radius is half the diameter
substitute the values
They give us the length of side of the square which is 3-7x.
To get an expression for the perimeter that is expressed as a product we have to multiply the expression 3-7x by four since every square has four sides. This will give us an expression of 4(3-7x). We than can use the distributive property to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 4. This will give us an expression of 12-28x.
What we know:
3.14 pi
radius: 7in.
Result units: in^3, this is the results of in used for radius; no conversion needed
Formula volume of a sphere: (4/3)* pi * r^3
(4/3)(3.14)(7)(7)(7)
(4/3)(3.14)(343)
(4/3)(1077.02)
(1.3)(1077.02) \\repeated 3 infinite
1436.026666\\repeated 6inf
The volume of the sphere is about 1436.0266 in^3
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. If the sides of a square are five to the power of two fifths inches long, then the are of the square would be <span>five to the power of four fifths square inches. Hope this answers the question.</span>
