<h2>Answer:</h2>

cylinder

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Archimedes was a brilliant mathematician. This man rose the formula of the volume of a sphere by comparing this shape to a cylinder. The volume of a sphere is hard to calculate by comparing this object to a cube. So Archimedes imagined cutting a sphere into two halves, called hemispheres.  So an hemisphere gave him a flat surface, which is easier to work with. Therefore, if he'd find the volume of a hemisphere, then he'd multiply the result by 2 and would get the volume of a sphere. Then he imagined a hemisphere within a cylinder as the one shown below. Also, he imagined a cone within the same cylinder. <em>What did he find?  </em>He found that the volume of the hemisphere should be equal to the volume of the cylinder minus the volume of the cone:

V=\pi r^3-\frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \\ V=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3

Then the volume of a sphere is twice this volume:

\boxed{V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}

Answer:

- 25 and - 623

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the term to term rule with u₀ = - 3 , then

(a)

u₁ = u₀³ + 2 = (- 3)³ + 2 = - 27 + 2 = - 25

(b)

u₂ = u₁³ + 2 = (- 25)³ + 2 = - 625 + 2 = - 623

The base of a triangle is 5.3 inches.The height of the triangle is 6.8 inches.What is the area of the triangle
Murrr4er [49]
It is 18.02. First you multiply 5.4 by 6.8 because it is a triangle you have to divide it by 2. 5.4x6.8=36.04 36.04/2=18.02
