The giant sequoias on the west coast of the United States are the tallest living things on Earth. The "general Sherman Tree" is

the largest of the sequoias with a height of 275 feet and an average diameter of 25 feet (approximately). Assume the tree is a cylinder (it isn't exactly) and ignore the branches.
Part A: What is the volume of the tree?
Part B: What is the surface area of the tree? ( don't include the area of the bases)
Part C: A cubic foot of sequoia wood weighs 30 pounds. How much does the "General Sherman Tree" weight?
The largest animal to ever inhabit the Earth is the blue whale with a maximum weight of approximately 400,000 pounds. How many of these whales would it take to weight the same as the "General Sherman Tree"? ( round all answers to the nearest whole number.)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • What is the volume of the tree?
  • What is the surface area of the tree?

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

Since here we are assuming this tree to be cylinder therefore,

> Volume = πr²h

> Volume = 3.14 × (12.5)² × 275

> Volume = 134990.34 ft²

And we know that lateral surface area is ,

> LSA = 2πrh

> LSA = 2 × 3.14 × 12.5 × 275

> LSA = 21598.5 ft

<u>Part</u><u> </u><u>C </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

> Weight = Volume × 30

> Weight = 134990.34 × 30

> Weight = 4049709 pounds .

And ,

> no. of whale = 4049709/400000

> no. of whale = 10.12

> No. of whale = 10 ( rounding off)

Answer:

Given:

height of tree[h]=275ft

diameter [d]=25ft

we have

[i] Volume of cylindrical tree =πr²h π×(12.5)²×275=134990.3ft³(approx)

[ii] Lateral surface area =2πrh= 2×π×12.5×275=21598.5ft²

[iii] Weight of General Sherman = 134990.3ft³×30

=4,049,709pounds

[iv] Weight of blue whale = 400,000 pounds.

No. of whale weighted equal to the tree 4,049,709/400,000 =10.12

so 10 whale rounded.

Carl worked six and one-half hours on Monday. He worked eight and two-third hours on Tuesday. How many hours did Carl work in al
Gnoma [55]

Answer: 15 hours and 37 minutes


Step-by-step explanation: 6 and 1/2 hours is 6 hours and 30 mins

8 and 2/3 hours is 8 hours and 67 mins


So 8 hours + 6 hours is 14 hours


Since 67 minutes is over an hour, we're going to take 60 minutes from 67, leaving u with 7 minutes


Add the 60 minutes to the 14 hours and you get 15 hours.


Take the 7 minutes and add it to the 30 minutes and you get 37 minutes.


All together the answer is 15 hours and 37 minutes

The base of a 15-foot ladder is 6 feet from a building. If the ladder reaches the flat roof, how tall is the building?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

the answer would be 13.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the tall is the building as follows:

Given that

Base is 6 foot

And, the hypotheses is 15 feet

Here we use the Pythagoras theorem

= √15^2 - √6^2

= √225 - √36

= √189

= 13.75 feet

Hence the answer would be 13.75 feet

Pedro has a student loan of $62,845. This loan has a simple interest rate of 7% per year. What is the amount of interest that Pe
Nat2105 [25]
I believe it would be $4,399.15 because if you use the formula I=P*R*T
P=62,845
R=0.07 or 7%
T=1 year period
So overall your equation is 62845*0.07*1=$4,399.15
Now at this point the interest is added onto the principal amount to figure out some new amount after one year so:
62845.00+4399.15=$67,244.15
