hmm, it seems i got the answer by subtracting the volume of the prism from the 4 pyramid shaped things. Thanks anyways!

#86 Re: Help Me ! » spacial geometry » 2013-07-10 09:59:50

my radius of the sphere was 7. what is the little r??

my traingle was a 5-2sqrt6-7. the answer was 196pi


can you help on these two??

#87 Re: Help Me ! » spacial geometry » 2013-07-10 06:51:42

yea my dad said it was easier viewing it in 2D with the plane as a line. then the pythag made radii 7. then it was easy

also, is (iii) 36pi? the radius is 3.

#91 Re: Help Me ! » spacial geometry » 2013-07-09 05:59:44

i am stuck on visualiztion for (ii) and i think (i) is 1152/pi

A rectangle with height 8 and length 24 is wrapped around a cylinder with height 8. The rectangle perfectly covers the curved surface of the cylinder without overlapping itself at all. What is the volume of the cylinder?

A plane intersects a sphere, forming a circle that has area 24pi. If this plane is 5 units from the center of the sphere, then what is the surface area of the sphere?

A sphere is inscribed in a cylinder so that it is tangent to both bases of the cylinder, and tangent to the curved surface of the cylinder all the way around. If the volume of the cylinder is 54pi, then what is the volume of the sphere?

#93 Re: Help Me ! » circle lengths » 2013-06-27 14:20:44

seems correct. how did you do that?

#95 Re: Help Me ! » circle lengths » 2013-06-27 07:31:35

hmm.. that is the power of a point theorem right?? i think it works for secants/tagents too

#96 Re: Help Me ! » circle lengths » 2013-06-27 05:04:30

thanks. can you help me on this?

In the adjoining figure,  AB is tangent at  A to the circle with center O , point D is interior to the circle, and DB intersects the circle at C. If BC = DC = 3,OD = 2 , and AB = 6, then find the radius of the circle.

#98 Re: Help Me ! » tangents » 2013-06-17 10:03:59

it was correct.

i was also stumped about 27 and 6. the diageam was corect
