Triangle ABC, with the vertices at A(0,0) B(3,5) and C(0,5) is graphed on the set of axes shown below. Name the solid that is formed when triangle ABC is rotated continuously about side AC and state the radius of the solid

Respuesta :

Answer:

Solid formed will be a CONE

Radius of the cone = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points of a triangle are A(0, 0), B(3, 5) and C(0, 5).

Given triangle is a right triangle.

When the given triangle ABC is rotated about a line AC, a 3D image of a solid will be created in the form of a CONE.

This cone will have the radius = BC

Length of side BC = [tex]\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]

                              = [tex]\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(5-5)^2}[/tex]

                              = 3

Therefore, radius of the cone = 3 units
