<h3>Answer: a = 15</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 13 to 39 is "times 3" when comparing the diagonal segments. So the jump from 5 to 'a' must also be "times 3" to keep the sides in the same proportion. Therefore, a = 3*5 = 15.

Or we could solve it like so

13/39 = 5/a

13a = 39*5 ... cross multiplying

13a = 195

a = 195/13 .... dividing both sides by 13

a = 15

A special liquid is held in a tank described as (x 2 + y 2 ) ≤ z ≤ 1 in a Cartesian coordinate system. Assume that the density o

vivado [14]

Since $\rho=\dfrac mV$ (density = mass/volume), we can get the mass/weight of the liquid by integrating the density $\rho(x,y,z)$ over the interior of the tank. This is done with the integral

$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{x^2+y^2}^1(2-z^2)\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

which is more readily computed in cylindrical coordinates as

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\int_{r^2}^1(2-z^2)r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=\boxed{\frac{3\pi}4}$
