With a line parallel to a side through a triangle we get similar triangles so a proportion.

AC : BC = AQ : PQ

AC = BC AQ / PQ

AC = 12.6 (7.2) / 8.4

AC = 10.8 cm

Answer: 10.8 cm

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.

Advocard [28]

The volume of a sphere is given by:

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

So, we need to deduct this equation. We will walk through Calculus on the concept of a solid of revolution that is a solid figure that is obtained by rotating a plane curve around some straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies on the same plane. We know from calculus that:

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[f(x)]^{2}dx$

Then, according to the concept of solid of revolution we are going to rotate a circumference shown in the figure, then:

 $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$

Isolationg y:

 $y= \sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ 

So,

 $f(x)=y=\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ 

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}]^{2}dx$

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$ 

being -r and r the limits of this integral.

 $V=\pi \int_{-r}^{r}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$

Solving:

 $V=\pi[r^{2}x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}]\right|_{-r}^{r}$

Finally:

 $V=\pi(r^{3}-\frac{r^{3}}{3})-\pi(-r^{3}+\frac{r^{3}}{3})= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

The box office took in a total of $2905 in paid admissions for the high-school musical. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and student

Svet_ta [14]

There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)
