c) A cylinder with radius 5 in., and height 4 in.
d) A square pyramid with base length 10 in., height 10 in., and slant height about 14 in.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  cylinder, has the least surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to choose the shape that has the least surface area for the approximate volume desired. In general, the least area for the volume will be provided by a sphere, a "square" cylinder with height equal to diameter, and a cube, in order of increasing area.

__

We are asked to find the area and volume of two rectangular prisms, a cylinder, and a square pyramid. Then, we are to identify the shape with the least surface area. Volume and area formulas will be used for the purpose.

Rectangular Prism

The relevant formulas are ...

  V = LWH

  A = 2(LW +H(L +W))

for length L, width W, and height H.

a) prism 1

The given dimensions are L = W = 8 in, H = 5 in. Then the volume and area are ...

  V = (8 in)(8 in)(5 in) = 320 in³

  A = 2((8 in)(8 in) +(5 in)(8 in +8 in)) = 2(64 in² +80 in²) = 288 in²

b) prism 2

The given dimensions are L = 10 in, W = 8 in, H = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

  V = (10 in)(8 in)(4 in) = 320 in³

  A = 2((10 in)(8 in) +(4 in)(10 in +8 in)) = 2(80 in² +72 in²) = 304 in²

__

Cylinder

The relevant formulas are ...

  V = πr²h

  A = 2πr(r +h)

for radius r and height h.

c) The given dimensions are r = 5 in, h = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

  V = π(5 in)²(4 in) = 100π in³ ≈ 314 in³

  A = 2π(5 in)(5 in +4 in) = 90π in² ≈ 283 in²

__

Square Pyramid

The relevant formulas are ...

  V = 1/3s²h

  A = s(s +2H)

for base side dimension s, vertical height h, and slant height H.

d) The given dimensions are s = 10 in, h = 10 in, H = 14 in. Then the volume and area are ...

  V = 1/3(10 in)²(10 in) = 1000/3 in³ ≈ 333 in³

  A = (10 in)(10 in + 2×14 in) = 380 in²

__

Summary

The proposed figures have volume and area (rounded to the nearest unit) as follows:

  [tex]\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-4}&shape&V (in^3)&A (in^2)\\\cline{1-4}a&rect prism&320&288\\b&rect prism&320&304\\c&cylinder&314&\bf283\\d&pyramid&333&380\\\cline{1-4}\end{tabular}[/tex]

The proposed cylinder requires the least amount of sheet metal for its construction. It has the least surface area of all of the shape choices offered.

_____

Additional comment

For a volume of 320 in³, a cube would have a surface area of 280.7 in². A "square" cylinder would have an area of 260.0 in². A sphere would have an area of 226.2 in². The above areas are somewhat larger because the shapes depart from the ideal aspect ratio.

A country has two political parties, the Reds and the Blues. The 100-member senate has 44 Reds and 56 Blues. How many ways are there to pick a 10 member committee of senators with the same number of Reds as Blues

Answers

There are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee to have the same number of Reds as Blues

How to determine the number of ways?

The given parameters are:

Reds = 44

Blues = 56

Committee member = 10

To have the same number of Reds as Blues, the committee must have 5 reds and 5 blues.

So, the number of ways is;

Ways = 44C5 * 56C5

Evaluate the combination expressions:

Ways =  1.086008 E+6 *  3.819816 E+6

Evaluate the product

Ways =  4.15E12

Hence, there are 4.15E12 ways to select the members of the committee

You used $3000 of your budget for training your employees. each hour of training costs $40 per employee plus a one-time $200 fee. a. how many hours of training can your purchase? b. how many hours of training will each of your employees receive? remember how many employees do you have?

Answers

A. The number of hours of training that you can purchase with a $3,000 training budget at $40 per employee per hour and a one-time $200 fee is 70-employee-training-hours.

B. Each employee will get 7 hours of training, assuming your organization has 10 employees.

What is the cost of training employees?

The training cost of employees varies from one organization to another.

The training cost also depends on the training provider and the number of hours of training being offered.

Data and Calculations:

Training budget = $3,000

One-time fee = $200

Remainder after the one-time fee = $2,800 ($3,000 - $200)

Training costs per employer per hour = $40

Hours of training to purchase = 70 ($2,800/$40)

Thus, an organization with 10 employees can obtain 70 hours of training with the training budget.

Geometric Mean Theorem - Altitude Rule

The altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle perpendicular to the hypotenuse separates the hypotenuse into two segments.  The ratio of one segment to the altitude is equal to the ratio of the altitude to the other segment:

[tex]\sf \dfrac{segment\:1}{altitude}=\dfrac{altitude}{segment\:2}[/tex]

You have one cubic mile of water. you release it at 1000 gallons per
minute. how long will it take to empty??

Answers

It will take 764664.6875 days to empty the water

How to determine the time to empty?

The given parameters are:

Volume = 1 cubic mileRate = 1000 gallons per minutes

The time is calculated as:

Time = Volume/Rate

So, we have:

Time = 1 cubic mile ÷ 1000 gallons per minute

Convert gallons to cubic mile

Time = 1 cubic mile ÷ (9.0817e-13 * 1000) cubic mile per minute

Divide

Time = 1.10111715 × 10^9 minute

Convert to days

Time = 764664.6875 days

Hence, it will take 764664.6875 days to empty the water

Rhiannna needs 1024 inches longer bedspread if Rhiannna gets a new bedspread that is 33 in length.

What is a rectangle?

It is defined as the two-dimensional geometry in which the angle between the adjacent sides are 90 degrees. It is a type of quadrilateral.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

Rhiannna has a rectangular bedspread that measures 234 in. By 245 in. She wants to sew a fringe around the edge of the bedspread. What length of fringe does Rhiannna need to purchase. Rhiannna gets a new bedspread that is 33 in length. What length of the fringe does Rhiannna need for the longer bedspread?

We know perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

= 2(234 + 245 )

= 958 inches

Rihannon gets a new bedspread that is 33 in length:

New perimeter = 2(33) + 958 = 1024 inches

Thus,  Rhiannna needs 1024 inches longer bedspread if Rhiannna gets a new bedspread that is 33 in length.

Answer:

  x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be simplified and solved using the rules of exponents and the usual inverse operations.

__

Interpreted according to the Order of Operations, your equation is ...

  ((2^2)x)^3 = 64

  (4x)^3 = 64x^3 = 64 . . . . . . use (ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)

  x^3 = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 64

  x = ∛1 = 1

__

Perhaps you want x in the exponent:

  (2^(2x))^3 = 64

  2^(6x) = 2^6 . . . . . . . . . use (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  6x = 6 . . . . . . . . match exponents

  x = 1 . . . . . . divide by 6

Answer:

x = -8

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The two shown equations can be added together:

   x + 4y = -8

+ ( x - 4y = -8 )

The two x's would combine to make two x, the 4y and -4y cancel out to zero, and -8 added to -8 is -16:

2x = -16

Therefore, x = -8. We can plug this into the first equation to get:

-8 + 4y = -8

Subtracting 8 on both sides yields:

4y = 0

Now divide by 4 on both sides to get

y = 0

We can check these values by plugging them into the second equation:

(-8) - 4(0) = -8

-8 - 0 = -8

-8 = -8

Since -8 always equals -8, the answer is correct.
