How to calculate the diameter of cylinder if you are given volume of 1000Litre and 224cm height

Afina-wow [57]

well, let's first notice, all our dimensions or measures must be using the same unit, so could convert the height to liters or the liters to centimeters, well hmm let's convert the volume of 1000 litres to cubic centimeters, keeping in mind that there are 1000 cm³ in 1 litre.

well, 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000 cm³, so that's 1000 litres.

$\textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ V=1000000~cm^3\\ h=224~cm \end{cases}\implies \stackrel{cm^3}{1000000}=\pi r^2(\stackrel{cm}{224}) \\\\\\ \cfrac{1000000}{224\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{1000000}{224\pi }}=r\implies \cfrac{1000}{\sqrt{224\pi }}=r\implies \stackrel{cm}{37.7}\approx r$

now, we could have included the "cm³ and cm" units for the volume as well as the height in the calculations, and their simplication will have been just the "cm" anyway.

The table shows whether members in a fishing group caught fish or did not catch fish and whether they fished from a boat or from

MariettaO [177]

The given scenario falls under the category of conditional probability. There are a total of 56 people in the fishing group described above. The probability that the a person caught a fish and fished from a boat is 24/56. The probability that he fished from a boat is (24+11)/56. For the conditional probability in this item is,
P = (24/56) / ((24+11)/56) = 24/35 = 0.69

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−6) and is parallel to the line x-2y=8

lana [24]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-7$ , or x-2y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel to the line x-2y=8

First, we need to find the slope of x-2y=8, since parallel lines have the same slopes

We can convert the equation from standard form (ax+by=c) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept), in order to help us find the slope of the line

Start by subtracting x from both sides

-2y=-x+8

Divide both sides by -2

y= $\frac{1}{2}x$ -4

The slope of the line x-2y=8 is 1/2

It's also the slope of the line parallel to it.

Since we know the slope of the line, we can plug it into the equation for slope intercept form:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+b$

Now we need to find b.

As the equation of the line passes through (2, -6), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute -6 as y and 2 as x:

$-6=\frac{1}{2}(2)+b$

Multiply

-6=1+b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-7=b

Substitute -7 as b into the equation:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-7$

The equation can be left as that, or you can convert it into standard form if you wish.

In that case, you will need to move 1/2x to the other side:

$-\frac{1}{2}x+y=-7$

A rule about the coefficients a, b, and c in standard form is that a (coefficient in front of x) CANNOT be negative, and every coefficient must be an integer (a whole number, not a fraction or decimal).

So multiply both sides by -2 in order to clear the fraction, as well as change the sign of a

x-2y=14

Hope this helps!
