A giant scoop, operated by a crane, is in the shape of a hemisphere of radius 21 inches. The scoop is used to transfer molten st

eel into a cylindrical storage tank with diameter 28 inches. If the scoop is filled to the top, what will be the height of the molten steel in the storage tank?
Write the answer as a decimal, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

31.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) $\pi$ r³
(where r is the radius)
Volume of a cylinder = $\pi$ r²h
(where r is the radius and h is the height)
radius r = (1/2) diameter

First, find the volume of the scoop using the volume of a hemisphere formula with r = 21:

Volume = (2/3) $\pi$ x 21³ = 6174 $\pi$ in³

Now equate the found volume of the scoop to the equation of the volume of a cylinder with r = 14, and solve for h:

$\pi$ 14²h = 6174 $\pi$

196 $\pi$ h = 6174 $\pi$

Divide both sides by $\pi$ : 196h = 6174

Divide both sides by 196: h = 31.5

Therefore, the height of the molten steel in the storage tank is 31.5 in

Maristella is constructing an isosceles triangle to use as a model in her Algebra class. The perimeter of her triangle is 24 cm.

Vlada [557]

Isolating s, the equation written in terms of s is:

$s = 12 - 0.5b$

-------------------------

The equation for the length of the third side, as stated in the problem,("Maristella uses the equation b = 24 – 2s to find b, the length of the triangle's third side") is:

$b = 24 - 2s$

To solve for the lengths of the congruent sides, we isolate s, thus:

$b = 24 - 2s$

$2s = 24 - b$

Inverse of multiplication is division, thus:

$s = \frac{24 - b}{2}$

Separating into two fractions:

$s = \frac{24}{2} - \frac{b}{2}$

Solving each fraction:

$s = 12 - 0.5b$

What is the area of the rectangle? shoe your work! do not round anything until the very end and round your final answer to the t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 42 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=LW$

In this problem

AB=DC

BC=AD

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

we have that

$L=BC\\W=AB$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the points

$A(2,-1),B(5,2),C(12,-5),D(9,-8)$

<em>Find out the distance BC</em>

we have

$B(5,2),C(12,-5)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-5-2)^{2}+(12-5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(7)^{2}}$

$d_B_C=\sqrt{98}\ units$

<em>Find out the distance AB</em>

we have

$A(2,-1),B(5,2)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(2+1)^{2}+(5-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{18}\ units$

<em>Find out the area</em>

$A=(L)(W)$

we have

$L=d_B_C=\sqrt{98}\ units$

$W=d_A_B=\sqrt{18}\ units$

substitute

$A=(\sqrt{98})(\sqrt{18})=42.0\ units^2$

Rewrite the equation in Ax+By=C form.<br> Use integers for A, B, and C.<br> y-3=6(x-5)

Mama L [17]

Answer:

y-6x=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify with distributive property

y-3=6x-30

add 3 to both sides

y=6x-27

take away 6x from both sides

y-6x=-27

A cylindrical tank has a radius of 15 ft. and a height of 45 ft. How many cubic feet of water can the tank hold?

vladimir1956 [14]

The formula to solve for this would be pi(r^2)xheight. Essentially what this formula does is it takes the are of the base (pi x r^2) and multiplies it by the height of the cylinder to find how many times the base can stack on itself until it reaches the top. This formula of base are times height works for all prisms with two bases. Here are the steps to solve:

1) plug in the values
- pi(15^2) x 45

2) solve for the base area of one of the circles
- pi(15^2)=225pi

3) multiply the base area by the height
- 225pi x 45 = 10,125pi

4) final answer: the tank can hold 10,125pi cubic feet of water
