Answer:

523.3 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A basketball has a diameter of 10 in. Using = 3.14, what is the approximate volume of the basketball in cubic inches?

The shape of a basketball is spherical.

Hence:

The volume of a basketball = 4/3 × π × r³

From the question,

π = 3.14

r = radius = Diameter/2

r = 10 in/2 = 5 in

Hence:

The volume of the basketball

= 4/3 × 3.14 × 5³

= 1570 ÷ 3

= 523.33333333 cubic inches

Therefore, the approximate volume of the basketball = 523.3 cubic inches

Valentin [98]

<u>Solution-</u>

Fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per UK gallon (As the car is manufactured in UK)

1 UK gallon = 4.5459631 lit

1 US gallon = 3.7853060 lit

$\therefore \frac{1 \ UK \ gallon}{1 \ US \ gallon} = \frac{4.5459631}{3.7853060} = 1.2009499$

$\Rightarrow 1 \ UK \ gallon = 1.2009499 \ US \ gallon$

As the fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per gallon

⇒ You need 1 UK gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

⇒ You need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

Or you can say that, to go 40 miles you need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel

⇒ To go 1 mile you will need $\frac{1.2009499}{40} = 0.0300237$

⇒ To go 738 miles you will need 0.0300237×738 = 22.1574906 US gallon of fuel

∴ 22.1574906 gallon of fuel is actually required.

∴ But, what she thinks will require is $\frac{738}{40} = 18.45 gallons$ (As she calculated using UK gallons)

What is the measure of angle c?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

c = 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

∡c and ∡a are supplementary angles.

Supplementary angles sum 180°

∡a = 53°

Then:

53° + c = 180°

c = 180° - 53°

c = 127°
