Question 1- The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has a volume of 88,548 ft3. It has a height of 94 ft. Find the radius.

Question 2-Janet made a model of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The length of the base of her pyramid is 9 inches and the width is 5 inches. The height of her pyramid is 12 inches. Find the volume of her pyramid.

Question 3- Jaquan is a basketball star. The basketball has a radius of 5 inches. What is the volume of the basketball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Question 1: [tex]r=29.99\ ft[/tex]

Question 2: [tex]V=180\ in^3[/tex]

Question 3: [tex]V=523.59\ in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Let's assume that the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a cone.

This formula is used to find the volume of a cone:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

Where "r" is the radius and  "h" is the height.

In this case we know that:

[tex]V=88,548 ft^3\\h= 94\ ft[/tex]

Then, substituting values into the formula and solving for "r", we get:

[tex]88,548=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2(94)\\\\\frac{3(88,548)}{94\pi}=r^2\\\\\sqrt{\frac{3(88,548)}{94\pi}}=r\\\\r=29.99\ ft[/tex]

2- We can use this formula for calculate the volume of the rectangular pyramid:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} lwh[/tex]

Where "l" is the length of the base, "w" is the width of the base and "h" is the height of the pyramid.

Knowing that:

[tex]l= 9\ in\\w=5\ in\\h=12\ in[/tex]

We can substitute values into the formula to find the volume of her pyramid:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} (9\ in)(5\ in)(12\ in)=180\ in^3[/tex]

3- The formula for calculate the volume of a sphere is:

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Where "r" is the radius.

Knowing that the the radius of the basketball is:

[tex]r=5\ in[/tex]

We get that its volume is:

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5\ in)^3=523.59\ in^3[/tex]
