Anarel [89]

Answer: The frog fell asleep for 4 nights.

Step-by-step explanation: First, he climbs up 3m every night. there are 16 nights before he gets to 29m. He has not climbed up for the 16th day so 15*3= 45. 45-29= 16. 16/4=4. The frog slept for 4 nights.

Given that 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 cm3 is equal to

Mashutka [201]

<span>We know that 1 cm3 is 1 cm * 1 cm * 1 cm, so in inches: 1 cm3 = 1 inch3/2.54^3 cm3 = 1/2.54*1/2.54*1/2.54 = 1/16.387 = 0.061 inch3 Another way to solve is: 1 inch = 1 inch/2.54 cm = 0.3937 cm Then 1 inch3 = 0.3937^3 cm = 0.061 inch3</span>

A sports company wants to package a ball with a 1.5-inch radius in sets of two. They have two options: a cylinder or a square pr

guajiro [1.7K]

Step 1

Find the Volume of the two balls

we know that

the Volume of a sphere is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

In this problem we have

$r=1.5\ in$

Substitute

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi 1.5^{3}=4.5\pi\ in^{3}$

so

the volume of the two balls is equal

$V=2*4.5\pi=9 \pi\ in^{3}$

Step 2

Find the volume of a cylinder

we know that

The Volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

In this problem we have

$r=1.5\ in$

$h=4*r=4*1.5=6\ in$

Substitute

$V=\pi (1.5^{2})(6)=13.5 \pi\ in^{3}$

Step 3

Find the amount of wasted space in the cylinder

Subtract the volume of the two balls from the volume of the cylinder

$13.5\pi\ in^{3}-9\pi\ in^{3}=4.5\pi\ in^{3}=14.14\ in^{3}$

Step 4

Find the volume of the square prism

The volume of the prism is equal to

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

h is the height of the prism

In this problem we have

$B=(2*1.5)^{2}=9\ in^{2}$ -----> the base is equal to the diameter

$h=4*r=4*1.5=6\ in$

Substitute

$V=9*6=54\ in^{3}$

Step 5

Find the amount of wasted space in the prism

Subtract the volume of the two balls from the volume of the prism

$54\ in^{3}-9\pi\ in^{3}=25.73\ in^{3}$

Step 6

Compare the amount of wasted space

the amount of wasted space in the cylinder is $14.14\ in^{3}$

the amount of wasted space in the prism is $25.73\ in^{3}$

Find the difference

$25.73\ in^{3}-14.14\ in^{3}=11.59\ in^{3}=11.6\ in^{3}$

The package that has the least amount of wasted space is the cylinder

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

the cylinder because it has approximately 11.6 in.3 less wasted space than the prism
