A nursery operator wants to build a greenhouse in the shape of a half cylinder. The volume of the greenhouse is to be approximately 35,350 cubic feet. @Mathematics
do u know the formulae of cylinder
A. The formula for the radius r (in feet) of a half cylinder is given by \[r=\sqrt{2v/\pi \iota}\]
where v is the volume (in cubic feet) and l is the length (in feet). Find the radius of the greenhouse. Round the result to the nearest whole number.
l=100ft
now plug in all the values in the formulae u will get the answer
as u know everything so u can do it right !
I dont understand how to do it
here, volume = 35350 cu ft l = 100 ft formula for half cylinder radius u had written as \[r = \sqrt(2v/\pi \times l) \]
\[r = \sqrt{\frac{35350}{3.14 \times 100}}\]
on solving this see wht u get ??
I got 15.00530692
so nearest whole number is 15 ft so radius is 15 ft
okay, now i have part b & c ; can u help me with this?
go ahead
what is part b say
wrong formula , one second.
B. Beams for holding a sprinkler system are to be placed across the top of the greenhouse. The formula for the height h at which the beams are to be placed is given by \[h=\sqrt{r^2-\left(\begin{matrix}a \\ 2\end{matrix}\right)^2}\]
where a is the length of a beam. rewrite h as a function of only a
what is a?
ill upload a picture of the diagram
\[h = \sqrt{r^2 -(\frac{a}{2})^2}\] square up both the sides what u will get.
\[h^2 = r^2 -(\frac{a}{2})^2\]
after that solve for h
what is given her is r given??
no r isnt given
unless r=25
means unless r = 25???
no im saying i think r might = 25
r u have calculated in the last question only so r = 15 ft
oh okay.
OMG m also a fool unnecesserily i was showing those things just plug in the value of r in the equation which u gave me for h
lol its okay
