Answer:

$5\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $5^2 +10 ^2 = c^2$

2. $c^2 = 125$

3. $c = 5\sqrt{5}$

Answer:

approximately 11.18 inches or $5\sqrt{5$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use Pythagorean Theorem for this problem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a/b are legs of the right triangle.

5^2 + 10^2 = c^2, 25 + 100 = c^2, 125 = c^2, sqrt125 = c

sqrt125 can be simplified to 5sqrt5 (25 * 5 = 125, sqrt25 = 5)

The hypotenuse is approximately 11.18 inches or $5\sqrt{5$ inches.

What you need to look for is $\frac { dr }{ dt }$ when r=8.

Now:

$Volume\quad of\quad a\quad sphere:\\ \\ V=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }$

$\therefore \quad \frac { dV }{ dr } =\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi \cdot 3{ r }^{ 2 }=4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\\ \\ \therefore \quad \frac { dr }{ dV } =\frac { 1 }{ \frac { dV }{ dr } } =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } }$

$And:\\ \\ \frac { dV }{ dt } =-\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ Therefore:\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =\frac { dr }{ dV } \cdot \frac { dV }{ dt }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } } \cdot -\frac { 256\pi }{ 3 } \\ \\ =-\frac { 256 }{ 12 } \cdot \frac { \pi }{ \pi } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ { r }^{ 2 } }$

$\\ \\ =-\frac { 64 }{ 3{ r }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ When\quad r=8,\\ \\ \frac { dr }{ dt } =-\frac { 64 }{ 3\cdot { 8 }^{ 2 } } =-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ Answer:\quad -\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \quad cm/sec$
