A sphere of clay is shape into a solid cylindrical figure. If the cylindrical figure is to be 5 cm high with a base radius of 4 cm, find the radius of the initial sphere of clay

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[V _{c}=\pi r^2h \]

OpenStudy (hihi):

oh

OpenStudy (hihi):

wait

OpenStudy (hihi):

What does Vc stand for?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[V _{c}=\pi (4)^2(5)=80\pi cm ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

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):

3.91 is the answer

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.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

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.

OpenStudy (hihi):

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.

OpenStudy (hihi):

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?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Here is the triangle: |dw:1328744624957:dw|
