Find the exact length of the third side

1 answer:

Daniel [21]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

√23

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given two side lengths of a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side).

All you have to do is plug the given information in:

Remember, 13 is the hypotenuse for this triangle.

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify:

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 from both sides:

b² = 169-144

b² = 23

Square root both sides:

b = √23

And that's your answer!

A sphere of radius 2x m has an area of 152.4 m2 and a volume of 360.9 m3. How much will the area and volume of another sphere

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$V = 1218.0375m^{3}$

$A = 342.9m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area:

$A =$ π $r^{2}$

$152.4 =$ π $(2x)^{2}$ *Square 2x*

$152.4 =$ π $4x^{2}$ *Divide by π*

$48.510 = 4x^{2}$ *Divide by 4*

$12.128 = x^{2}$ *Square root*

$\sqrt{12.128} = x$ *Solve*

x ≈ 3.482

Now take the same equation but replace 2x with 3x

$A =$ π $r^{2}\\$

Now replace x with 3.482 and solve for area.

$A = 342.9m^{2\\}$

Volume:

$V = \frac{4}{3}$ π $r^{3}$ *Insert variables*

$360.9 = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(2x)^{3}$ *Cube 2x*

$360.9 = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(8x^{3})$ *Multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ on both sides*

$270.675 =$ π $(8x^{3})$ *Divide by π*

$86.159 = 8x^{3}$ *Divide by 8*

$10.770 = x^{3}$ *Cube root*

$\sqrt[3]{10.770} = x$ *Solve*

x ≈ 2.208

Now take the same equation but replace 2x with 3x

$V = \frac{4}{3}$ π $(3x)^{3}$

Now replace x with 2.208 and solve for volume.

$V = 1218.0375m^{3}$
