Answer:

the volume of the empty space is 12.22 in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, cylinder and sphere.

1. If we take a careful look at the problem, we will understand that the diameters of the four balls all sum up to give the height of the cylinder

2. Also to solve for the empty space, we have to subtract the volume of the 3 balls from the volume of the cylinder.

Given data

Diameter of sphere and cylinder d=  2.5 in

Radius r =  \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{2.5}{2} =  1.25 in

Height h=  3(2.5)= 7.5 in

let us solve for the volume of the cylinder

volume= \pi r^{2} h\\volume= 3.14*1.25^{2}* 7.5\\volume= 3.142*1.56*7.5\\volume= 36.76 in^{3}

we can now solve for the volume of all three balls

we know that the volume of sphere is given as

volume= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

since we are solving for 3 balls we multiply by 3

volume= 3*\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\volume= 4\pi r^{3} \\volume= 4*3.142*1.25^{3} \\volume= 4* 3.142*1.95\\volume= 24.54in^{3}

hence the volume of the empty space is

= volume of cylinder- volume of all three balls

=36.76- 24.5\\= 12.22 in^{3}

sammy [17]

The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.

The situation forms a right-angled triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
  • The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
  • The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.

let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

tan ∅ =  5 / 2

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5

∅ = 68.1985905136

∅ = 68.20°

Therefore,

cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20

hypotenuse = 88.8606843161

Therefore,

length of wire ≈ 89 feet.
