An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a

cylinder, as shown below:

Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 18 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 54 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 8 millimeters. Sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. How many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?

Answer: third option 268.8

Explanation:

For this kind of proble it is very important that you attach the figure because it contains important information to understand the question.

I have attached the figure for better understanding.

1) The top portion (and the bottom is congruent but rotated 180°) of the hourglass is a figure equivalent to a cylinder on top and a cone on bottom.

So the total volume contained in the top portion is the volume of a cylinder + the volume of a cone.

This is how you calculate the volume of the top portion:

1) The height of the cylinder is 54 mm - 18 mm = 36 mm

2) The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = π (radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 36 mm

=> V = π(8mm)^2 * 36 mm = 2304π (mm)^3

3) The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)π(radius)^2 * height

radius = 8 mm
height = 18 mm

V = (1/3)π(8mm)^2 * 18 mm = 384π (mm)^3

4) The total volume of the top portion is volumen of the cylindrical part + voume of the cone:

Total voluem = 2304π (mm)^3 + 384π (mm)^3 = 2688π (mm)^3

5) To find the number of seconds <span>it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass you have to divide the total volumen of sand by the rate:

time in seconds = total volume of sand / rate of dripping

time in seconds = [2688 π (mm)^3 ] / [10π (mm)^3 / s] = 268.8 s

That is the answer: 268.8 s

40 POINTS!! AND BRAINLIEST!! The equation of the line is Y=2.x- 1.8. Based on the graph which of the following are true?
nalin [4]

Answer:

The correct statment is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is not correct:  y = 2.4(30) - 1.8 does not equal 70...

<u>B. Is correct because the slope is 2.4 From the equation</u>

C. is not correct because the points have no 2.4 (maybe 2.2)? difference.

D. is not correct. the correlation isn't positive.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant to put 5/12 ad 9/16 but in any case, even if it were 51/2 and 91/6 or anything else, the answer would be no
