math project, help! WILL FAN AND GIVE MEDAL A theme park company is opening a marine-inspired park in your city. They are in the process of designing the theatre where a killer whale show will take place. The following design is already under construction and will house the whales that perform in the show: A diagram of a show stadium is shown. The main show tank appears to be a semi-circle, while the two holding tanks appear to be rectangular in shape. Step 1: Calculations Main Show Tank Calculation: ✔︎ The main tank has a radius of 70 feet. What is the volume of the quarter-sphere sized tank? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit. Holding Tank Calculations: The holding tanks are congruent in size, and both are in the shape of a cylinder that has been cut in half vertically. The bottom of the tank is a curved surface. What is the volume of both tanks if the radius of tank #1 is 15 feet and the height of tank #2 is 120 feet? You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit. Density Calculation: ✔︎ In step 1, you found the volume (in cubic feet) of the main tank. If the maximum density of killer whales per cubic foot is 0.000011142, what is the maximum number of killer whales allowed in the main show tank at any given time? You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations to receive credit. Step 2: Reflections Answer the following questions: You must show all steps and provide any evidence needed in your solution to receive full credit. The theme park company is building a scale model of the killer whale stadium main show tank for an investor's presentation. Each dimension will be made 6 times smaller to accommodate the mock-up in the presentation room. How many times smaller than the actual volume is the volume of the mock-up? Using the information from #4, answer the following question by filling in the blank: The volume of the actual tank is ____% of the mock-up of the tank If you were to take a cross section parallel to the base of one of the holding tanks, how would you describe the shape?

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

so I should just start by finding the volume of the main tank, right?

OpenStudy (lord_box):

Yes. What would be the volume formula for a quarter sphere?

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

this is the formula I found but it looks super complicated

OpenStudy (lord_box):

Hm, I don't think that's it. You know the volume formula for a sphere?

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

359189 is the number I got for cubic feet in the main tank

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

1436755.0402417321077235822406198 for the full sphere and 359188.76006043302693089556015496 divided by four

OpenStudy (lord_box):

That looks to be correct.

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

For the third part, I got x whales ≤ 4.002083838 So four whales in the tank at one time

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

Does anyone know of a program where I can build a 3D model of this? I think it might help me.

OpenStudy (lord_box):

I agree with your step 3.

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

great

OpenStudy (lord_box):

tinkercad might help you with 3D modeling

Holding Tank Calculations: It describes half of a cylinder. It tells you the two tanks are congruent, so their measurements should be the same. 15 radius and 120 height. The equation for cylinder area is \[\pi*r^2*h\]

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

V=(3.14)R^2H V=(3.14)(15)^2(120) V=(3.14)(225)(120) V=84,780

OpenStudy (lord_box):

That would be the volume of both combined.

OpenStudy (math_genius12345):

Should I divide by two?

OpenStudy (lord_box):

I suppose the "volume of both tanks" means both of them. But it could mean either one, not sure.
