What is the radius of a hemisphere with a volume of 885 in^3, to the nearest tenth of an inch?

Answer:

The desired radius is r = 7.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere of radius r is V = (4/3)πr³.  A hemisphere is half a full sphere, so the formula for the volume of a hemisphere of radius r is (4/3)(1/2)πr³, or (2/3)πr³.

We know that the volume of the hemisphere is 885 in³:

885 in³ = (2/3)πr³ and need to solve this first for r³ and then for r.

This is equivalent to:

885 in³ = (2π/3)r³.

We can now isolate r³ by multiplying both sides of this equation by (3 / [2π]):

(3 / [2π])(885 in³) = (3 / [2π])(2π/3)r³ = r³

Then r³ = 422.556 in³

Finally, we find the desired hemisphere radius by taking the cube root of both sides of the above equation:

r = ∛(422.556 in³) = 7.5 in (which is to the nearest tenth of an inch)

The desired radius is r = 7.5 inches

The sail on a souvenir boat is similar in shape to the sail on a sailboat. The sail on the sailboat is in the shape of a right t
Triss [41]

Answer:

1 1/8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sails are similar,  corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so we have the equation

:24/3 = 9/b     where  b = base of the souvenir boat.

Cross multiply:

24b = 9*3

b = 27/24

= 1 1/8 inches.

What is the tru solution to the logarithmic equation below? Log4[log4(2x)]=1
zaharov [31]

\log_4(\log_42x)=1

Take both sides as powers of 4:

4^{\log_4(\log_42x)}=4^1\implies\log_42x=4

Do it again:

4^{\log_42x}=4^4\implies2x=(2^2)^4=2^8\implies x=2^7=128
