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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) ABCD is a trapezium. AB ║ CD

∠ADC + ∠DAB  = 180°  { Co interior angles}

110° + ∠DAB = 180

         ∠DAB = 180 -110

∠DAB = 70°

2) Sum of all angles of trapezium = 360°

∠A + ∠B + ∠DCB + ∠D = 360

70° + 50° + ∠DCB + 110° = 360

                 230 + ∠DCB = 360

                            ∠DCB = 360 - 230

∠DCB = 130°

3) For finding the height, use Pythagorean theorem

height² + base² = hypotenuse²

      height² + 6² = 10²

      height² + 36 =100

               height² = 100 - 36

              height² = 64

               height = √64

height = 8 m

4) a = AB = x m

  b = 9 m

h = height = 8 m

Area of trapezium = 120 m²

\frac{(a+b)*h}{2}\\\\  = 120

\frac{(x+9)*8}{2} =120\\\\\\(x +9)*4 = 120

x + 9 = 120/4

x + 9 = 30

    x = 30 - 9

x = 21 m

AB = 21m

If you rolled two dice what is the probability that you would roll a 4 or a 5
Masja [62]
Hello there! Given that normal dice are numbered 1-6, individually rolling a 4 or a 5 would give a 1/6 probability. That converts to about 17% as a percentage because we can multiply 1 by 100 to get 100/6, then divide 100 by 6 to get 16.6666. When rounding, that gives approximately 17%. However, if we combined probabilities, we would find that rolling a 4 or a 5 collectively gives a 2/6 probability, which is approximately 33% as a decimal.

In terms of individual probabilities, you would be 17% likely to roll one of them. In terms of collectiveness, the likelihood of rolling a 4 or 5 would render 33% on each die. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
