Given:

The width at the base of parabolic tunnel is 7 m.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures.

The height to light fixtures is 4 m.

To find:

Whether it is possible a trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel.

Solution:

The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m.

Let the graph of the parabola intersect the x-axis at x=0 and x=7. It means x and (x-7) are the factors of the height function.

The function of height is:

h(x)=ax(x-7)             ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures and the height to light fixtures is 4 m. It means the graph of height function passes through the point (3,4).

Putting x=3 and h(x)=4 in (i), we get

4=a(3)((3)-7)

4=a(3)(-4)

\dfrac{4}{(3)(-4)}=a

-\dfrac{1}{3}=a

Putting a=-\dfrac{1}{3}, we get

h(x)=-\dfrac{1}{3}x(x-7)              ...(ii)

The center of the parabola is the midpoint of 0 and 7, i.e., 3.

The width of the truck is 4 m. If is passes through the center then the truck must m 2 m on the left side of the center and 2 m on the right side of the center.

2 m on the left side of the center is x=1.5.

A trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is possible if h(1.5) is greater than 2.8.

Putting x=1.5 in (ii), we get

h(1.5)=-\dfrac{1}{3}(1.5)(1.5-7)

h(1.5)=-(0.5)(-5.5)

h(1.5)=2.75

Since h(1.5)<2.8, therefore the trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is not possible.

I) Find the volume in terms of pie
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

i) pi×4500 cm³

ii) pi×600 cm²

iii) 14 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

in general : the diameter is 30 cm, the radius is half of that (15 cm)

i)

the volume of a cylinder is base area times height.

Vc = pi×r²×h = pi×15²×20 = pi×225×20 = pi×4500 cm³

ii)

similar to volume, the side "mantle" area of the cylinder is the circumference of the base area times height.

surface area of the cylinder mantle is

Scm = 2×pi×r×h = 2×pi×15×20 = pi×30×20 = pi×600 cm²

iii)

for this we need now to do the multiplication with pi and then convert the cm³ to liters.

1 liter = a cube of 10 cm side length = 10×10×10 = 1000 cm³

pi×4500 = 14137.17 cm³ = 14.13717 liters or rounded 14 liters
