Answer:

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of foaming that is needed to fill the rest of the box we first need to calculate the volume of the box and the volume of the ball. Since the box is cubic it's volume is given by the formula below, while the formula for the basketball, a sphere, is also shown.

Vcube = a³

Vsphere = (4*pi*r³)/3

Where a is the side of the box and r is the radius of the box. The radius is half of the diameter. Applying the data from the problem to the expressions, we have:

Vcube = 15³ = 3375 cubic inches

Vsphere = (4*pi*(9.5/2)³)/3 = 448.921

The volume of foam there is needed to complete the box is the subtraction between the two volumes above:

Vfoam = Vcube - Vsphere = 3375 - 448.921 = 2926.079 cubic inches

The volume of foam needed to fill the box is approximately 2926.1 cubic inches.

x = 8 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mage has $36 to spend on movie tickets.

Each movie ticket costs $4.50.

Let he bought x tickets. ATQ,

4.50x = 36

x=\dfrac{36}{4.5}\\\\=8

So, he can buy 8 tickets.

One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle is 35. Find the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95
