\[V _{c}=\pi r^2h \]
OpenStudy (hihi):
oh
OpenStudy (hihi):
wait
OpenStudy (hihi):
What does Vc stand for?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[V _{c}=\pi (4)^2(5)=80\pi cm ^{3}\]

Volume of the cylinder
OpenStudy (hihi):
so then the answer would be 3.14X462x5?
OpenStudy (hihi):
i mean 3.14X4^2X5
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So the sphere must have had the same volume. But the volume of a sphere is:
\[V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=80\pi\]
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So we need to solve that for the radius of the sphere

OpenStudy (hihi):
i tried the method, its just that im not sure what the answer is, thank you for helping and all.
OpenStudy (hihi):
its just 3 problems which i dont get, i did the rest on my own.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
We are not done yet. Why did you put in the answer?
OpenStudy (hihi):
i didnt put the answer
OpenStudy (mertsj):

OpenStudy (hihi):
i got 3.93, are you sure its right?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
It's the 3rd root of 60. I got 3.91
OpenStudy (hihi):
thank you so much, i just have 2 more problems then im finished.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Good for you.
OpenStudy (hihi):
Wait can you tell me if i did this right:
Find the volume of a cylinder of height 16 cm and base diameter 40 cm. I got 8038 CM cubed.

Hand on. I;m on the phone.
OpenStudy (hihi):
k
OpenStudy (mertsj):
V= pi (20)^2(16)=20106.19
OpenStudy (hihi):
wait so was my answer correct, because i think i did the right way
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Compare it with mine.

OpenStudy (hihi):
ok
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Did you use 20 for the radius instead of 40?
OpenStudy (hihi):
i added it up and the answer was: 20096 cm
OpenStudy (hihi):
i think i might have used it
OpenStudy (mertsj):
There's nothing to add.

so this is the answer: 20106.19?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
The question asked for the radius of the sphere.
The radius of the sphere is 3.91 cm
OpenStudy (hihi):
hey your back?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
yep
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Just got off the phone.

ok so i did this problem by myself, tell me what you think:
OpenStudy (mertsj):
ok
OpenStudy (hihi):
Find the volume of an equilateral triangular prism with triangles of side 4 cm and length 10 cm
OpenStudy (hihi):
i did area x height to get the answer so:
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So what did you get for the area of the triangle?

OpenStudy (hihi):
so i got 12 rounded
OpenStudy (hihi):
i really got 11.994 so i rounded to 12, would that be right?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
That seems to big.
OpenStudy (hihi):
oh
OpenStudy (hihi):
what would the answer be then?
