Step-by-step explanation:
remember. the radius is always half the diameter.
volume of a cylinder
pi × r² × height
pi×7.5²×48 = pi×56.25×48 = 8,482.300165... in³
volume of a sphere
4/3 × pi × r³
and that volume should be the same as the cylinder. so,
4/3 × pi × r³ = pi×56.25×48
4/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 48
1/3 × r³ = 56.25 × 12
r³ = 56.25 × 36 = 7.5² × 6² = (7.5×6)² = 45² = 2025
which would be 12.65148998... in.
Answer:
Altitude of the plane is 0.5 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
An airplane A is at height h miles observes a small airstrip at D and a factory at F, 4.8 miles apart from D.
Angle of depressions for the airstrip is 13.1° and the factory is 4.1°.
We have to calculate the airplane's altitude h.
From ΔABF,
tan4.1 =
h = 0.07168(x + 4.8) -----(1)
From ΔABD,
tan13.1 =
h = 0.2327x -----(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
0.07168(x + 4.8) = 0.2327x
0.2327x - 0.07168x = 4.8×0.07168
0.161x = 0.344
x = miles
From equation (2),
h = 0.2327×2.137
h = 0.4972 miles
h ≈ 0.5 miles
Therefore, 0.5 miles is the altitude of the plane.
