How is the "subtraction method" used to derive the formula for volume of a cylinder?

Mathematics

NikAS [45]2 years ago

Answer:

The subtraction method is used to find the volume of the cylinder by recalling that the volume of the cylinder consist of the volume of the cone and the volume of the sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the subtraction method, we have that a cylinder of radius r, equal to that of a circle, and height 2·r consist of a cone of base radius r and height 2·r and a sphere of radius r as follows;

Volume or sphere of radius r = Volume of cylinder of radius r and height 2·r - Volume of cone of base radius r and height 2·r

∴ 4/3·π·r³ = Volume of cylinder of radius r and height 2·r  - 2/3·π·r³

Hence, volume of cylinder of radius r and height 2·r = 4/3·π·r³ + 2/3·π·r³ = 2·π·r³

Hence the subtraction method is used to find the volume of the cylinder by recalling that the volume of the cylinder consist of the volume of the cone and the volume of the sphere.

1. Subtract 6 from both sides now you would get..

2z=-10

Now divide each side by 2z and you get


z= -5

So the answer is -5

Answer:

  • <u>The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 :  1 (0.09 to 1).</u>

Explanation:

The <em>odds </em>of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.

When you know the <em>probability</em> of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.

Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:

  • Odds = p / ( 1 - p)

You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.

Therefore:

  • Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)
