Answer: radius = 19.99 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as
Volume = πr²h
Where
r represents the radius of the cylinder.
h represents the height of the cylinder.
π is a constant whose value is 22/7
From the information given,
Volume = 16328 cubic centimeters
Height = 13 centimeters
Therefore,
16328 = 22/7 × r² × 13
16328 = 40.857r²
Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 40.857, it becomes
r² = 16328/40.857 = 399.6378
Taking square root of the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
r = 19.99 centimeters
The formula for that is V=
but the answer is 4,940cm³ so C.
In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.
In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.
(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.
The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
