NEED HELP NOW! A can of paint holds 500 mL of paint and is 6 in. tall. What is the diameter of the can? (Hint: 500

Mathematics

Answer: 2.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A paint can is assumed to be a cylindrical shape. The formula for volume of a cylinder is V = Pi * r^2 * h

The volume is 500 mL, which we are told is 30.512 cubic inches


The problem says we can approximate Pi to be 3.14


The height is 6 in


So we need to solve for diameter of the base. In order to do that, solve for the radius first, and since d = 2r, just double the value of the radius


After plugging in what we know to the formula, we get
30.512 in^3 = 3.14 * r^2 * 6 in

30.512 in^3 / (3.14 * 6 in) = r^2

1.619533 in^2(rounded) = r^2

(1.619533 in^2)^(1/2) = l r l

1.272609 in (rounded) = r

Note: on the above step, we can immediately reject the negative solution, because a radius cannot be negative

Now that we have the radius, we simply double it to find the diameter

d = 2r

d = 2 * 1.272609

d = 2.545218


Since the question asked for the diameter rounded to the nearest tenth, the final answer is diameter = 2.5 in

Which describes changing an angle of rotation?
givi [52]
I think the answer is B). because if the angle is changed if it turned on a fixed point. its changed if it translated or if the rays are changed, neither is it changed if it translated to the right either.

1. which Theorem explains why the circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of a triangle?
Ber [7]
1- The circumcenter refers to the central point or focal point of the circle which experiences the three vertices of the triangle. Review that all radii of a circle are congruent, i.e. equivalent to each other. So this is the reason the circumcenter is equidistant from the vertices of the triangle. The perpendicular bisectors are used to form the circumcenter, so the concurrency of perpendicular bisector theorem  also explains.
2- The picture is not given.
3-The answer is right triangle. 
In a right triangle, midpoint of hypotenuse is at equal distance from all the 3 vertices. So that is focal point of the circle going through all its 3 vertices. A right-angled triangle is a triangle which have one right angle. The connection between the sides and points of a right triangle is the reason for trigonometry. The side which lies as the opposite to the right angle is known as the hypotenuse. 
4- The coordinates of the circumcenter of ABC with the vertices A(0,0), B(3,0), and C(3,2) is (1.5,1) 
For the given triangle, vertex A lies on starting point; Vertex B lies on x-axis; and vertex C lies on hold parallel to y-axis. ==> AB along x-axis and BC opposite to AB. So the triangle ABC is a right triangle with its vertex B = 90 deg and AC has the hypotenuse. For a right triangle its circumcentre is the midpoint of hypotenuse. Consequently here the midpoint of AC = (1.5, 1), is the circumcenter of the triangle ABC.
