Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

1. area = 4 * pi * r^2
area = 4 * pi * 6^2
area = 4 * pi * 36
area = 144pi

What are the two formulas for number 2 and 3?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

Oh wait I got it. Volume of sphere = (4/3)(PI)r^3
and
surface area of cylinder is T = 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r^2
cylinder volume is V = (PI)(r^2)h

I'll do numbers 2, 3, 4 and post them now.

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

2. V = (4/3)(PI)r^3
v= (4/3) * pi * 216
v = 288pi (B)

3. T = 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r^2
t = 2 * pi * 48 + 2(pi) * 6^2
t = 2 * pi * 48 + 2pi * 36
What next?

4. V = (PI)(r^2)h
v = pi * 6^2 * 8
v = pi * 36 * 8
v = pi * 288
v = 288pi (D)

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

5. Surface area of cone
T = (PI)rs + (PI)r^2
t = pi * 6 * 10 + pi * 6^2
t = 60pi + 36pi
t = 96pi (A)

6. Volume of the cone
V = (1/3)(PI)(r^2)h
v = (1/3) * pi * 6^2 * 8
v = 1/3 * pi * 36 * 8
v = 96pi (C)

I also think I figured out the next step for number 3

T = 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r^2
t = 2 * pi * 48 + 2(pi) * 6^2
t = 2 * pi * 48 + 2pi * 36
t = 96pi + 36 *2pi
Then what?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

7. surface area of the sphere
4 * pi * r^2
a = 4 * pi * 12^2
a = 144pi * 4
a = 576pi (B)


8. volume of the sphere
V = (4/3)(PI)r^3
v= 4/3 * pi * 12^3
v= 4/3 * pi * 1728
v = 2304pi (A)


9. surface area of the cylinder
T = 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r^2
t = 2 * pi * 192 + 2pi * 144
t = 384pi + 144 * 2pi
What do I do now?


10. volume of the cylinder
V = (PI)(r^2)h
v = pi * 12^2 * 16
v = pi* 144 * 16
v = 2304pi (D)

Sorry for all these posts!
I got 3 and 9
3 is (F) and 9 is (D).


14. surface area of the sphere
4 * pi * r^2
4 * pi * 9^2
4 * pi * 81
= 324pi (A)

15. volume of the sphere
V = (4/3)(PI)r^3
v = 4/3 * pi * 9^3
v = 4/3 * pi * 729
v = 972pi


16. surface area of the cylinder
T = 2(PI)rh + 2(PI)r^2
t = 2 * pi * 108 + 2 * pi * 81
t = 216pi + 162pi
t = 378pi (D)


17. volume of the cylinder
V = (PI)(r^2)h
v = pi * 9^2 * 12
v =pi * 81 * 12
v = 972pi (E)

Okay so I need help with 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20.

Are those all correct now till now?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

11. sqrt of (16^2 + 12^2)
= sqrt of (256 + 144)
= sqrt of 400
= 20 (E) Alright!!

12. Surface area of cone
T = (PI)rs + (PI)r^2
t = pi * 12 * 20 + pi * 144
t = 240pi + 144pi
t = 384pi (D)


13. Volume of the cone
V = (1/3)(PI)(r^2)h
v = (1/3) * pi * 144 * 16
v = (1/3) * pi * 2304
v = 1/3 * 2304pi
v = 768pi (E)

Are those correct?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

18. What would the slant height of the cone be?
sqrt of (r^2 + h^2)
sqrt of (81 + 144)
sqrt of 225
= 15 (A)

19. Surface area of cone
T = (PI)rs + (PI)r^2
t = pi * 9 * 15 + pi * 9^2
t = pi * 135 + pi * 81
t = 135pi + 81pi
t = 216pi (B)

20. Volume of the cone
V = (1/3)(PI)(r^2)h
v = (1/3) * pi * 9^2 * 12
v = (1/3) * pi * 81 * 12
v = (1/3) * 972pi
v = 324pi (F)

Good?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

1. If a hexagon has a side of 3 units, what is the area of the hexagon?

2. If a hexagon has an area of 100 units, what is the length of one side?

3. If a hexagon has a radius (center to point of angle) of 6, what is the side of the hexagon?

4. If a hexagon has a radius (center to point of angle) of 6, what is the area of the hexagon?

5. If a hexagon is resting on a flat side, and has a total height of 18, what is the length of each side of the hexagon?

6. If a hexagon is resting on a flat side, and has a total height of 18, what is the area of the hexagon?

7. Problem solver (worth 4 points): Come up with a way to find the area and volume of a football. Include in your answer a way to acquire any necessary measurements without cutting or otherwise destroying the football. Also include all necessary formulas to implement your idea. (You don't need to find actual numbers, just outline the method in step by step detail--think of all the measurements you'll need to acquire and how you'll get them.)

Hi;

For 1 and 2 use this:

where s is one side.

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

So

1. area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * s^2
area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * 3^2
area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * 9

What next?

I looked up a little bit online and found out that this formula should be used
s^2 x 6 / 4 x tan(180/6)

Is that also correct?

Re: Surface Area and Volume of Spheres, Cylinders, and Cones

1. If a hexagon has a side of 3 units, what is the area of the hexagon?

area = 3^2 x 6 / 4 x tan(180/6)
area = 54 / 4 x tan(180/6)
area = 54 / 2.3094
area = 23.38

or

area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * s^2
area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * 3^2
area = 1/2 (3sqrt3) * 9
area = 23.38


2. If a hexagon has an area of 100 units, what is the length of one side?
100= 3√3 / 2 * s² | s = side
s^2 = 100 / 3√3 / 2
s^2 = 100 / 2.598076
s^2 = 38.490021
Answer: s = 6.204032

But the formula you recommended does not lead to the same result.
