Find the surface area of a sphere with a circumference of 86 cm. Round to the nearest tenth. (1 point)2,354.2 cm2 1,177.1 cm2 187.3 cm2 13.7 cm2 A balloon has a circumference of 16 cm. Use the circumference to approximate the surface area of the balloon to the nearest square centimeter. (1 point)804 cm2 326 cm2 256 cm2 81 cm2

@Noemi95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized this isnt in the math section sorry . lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these r two diff questiens i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2454 ithink for 1st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think noemi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81 for second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its right ive checked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not a answer choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why lol? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it serious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember that the formula for the surface of a sphere is: S=4(pi)r^2 [We don't know what the radius is, but we are given the circumference] Circumference is 2(pi)r Your formula will be C=(2)(2.14)(r) Then multiply (2)(2.14) then divide the circumference to the result and you find 'radius'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meant 3.14 for pi! >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I multiplied 2*3.14 and got 6.28, what do I divide or do know ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You now divide the circumference by that 86/6.28=13.69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of the answer choices are that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not the answer yet, we just found the radius. Now plug in Values in the actual equation we need to solve S=4(pi)r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*3.14*13.69^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first answer would be correct .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought so(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you also help me with the other one .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, let me see what it says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We would pretty much use the same method, since a balloon is also a sphere because is 3D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again, to find the radius we divide the circumference by 2(pi)=6.28 So, 16/6.28=2.547 Now, plug in known values into the formula for surface "S=4(pi)r^2" S=(4)(3.14)(2.547^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Excellent!(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the similarity ratio of a prism with the surface area of 81 m2 to a similar prism with the surface area of 361 m2. (1 point)6,859 : 729 9 : 19 19 : 9 729 : 6,859

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(361): sqrt(81) = B. 19: 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waiitt! it's truly B. but the 9:19 one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19.9 is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are asking me, or telling me? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's 9:19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because they're asking the similarity ratio of 81 to 361 (small # first)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the scale factor of two similar solids is 3 : 14, what is the ratio of their corresponding areas? What is the ratio of their corresponding volumes? (1 point)The ratio of their corresponding areas is 27 : 2,744. The ratio of their corresponding volumes is 9 : 196. The ratio of their corresponding areas is 9 : 196. The ratio of their corresponding volumes is 27 : 2,744. The ratio of their corresponding areas is 6 : 28. The ratio of their corresponding volumes is 9 : 42. The ratio of their corresponding areas is 3 : 196. The ratio of their corresponding volumes is 3 : 2,744.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the corresponding areas we would use "a^2: b^2" and to find the corresponding volumes we would use "a^3: b^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

areas = 3^2: 14^2 volumes= 3^3: 14^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you figure it out on your own now? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 27 2744 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that would be for the VOLUME!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks . answer 1 well A would be my answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, because for answer A, for the values of Volume they have different numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me work it out with you. For AREA: 3^2: 14^2 9: 196 VOLUME:3^3: 14^3 27: 2744

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the answer would be "B", Notice that each answer choice has two-lines of info.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem Lexi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz @lexiamee mention that u want ans or explanation
