Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the aquarium is 2880 in^3.

Height of the aquarium is 4 inches

The base of the aquarium is rectangular in shape.

Let the length be L

Let the width be W

The length of the rectangle is 4 inches more than twice the width. It means that

L = 2W + 4

The volume of the aquarium is expressed as L × W × H

Therefore

L × W × H = 2880

Since H = 4,

4LW = 2880

LW = 2880/4 = 720

LW = 720 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting L = 2W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

W(2W + 4) = 720

2W^2 + 4W - 720 = 0

W^2 + 2W - 360 = 0

W^2 + 20W - 18W- 360 = 0

W(W +20) - 18(W + 20) = 0

W-18 = 0 or W + 20 = 0

W = 18 or W = -20

Since the width cannot be negative, it is 18 inches

L = 720/W = 720/18

L = 40 inches

Length is 40 inches

Width is 18 inches

A sphere has a radius of 7.5 centimeters. To the nearest cubic centimeter, what is the volume of the sphere?
Naya [18.7K]

Volume of sphere = 1766.25 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of sphere = 7.5 cm

Volume of sphere = ?

The formula used is:

Volume= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Putting values:

Volume= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\Volume=\frac{4}{3}*3.14* (7.5)^3\\Volume= 1766.25\,\,\,cm^3

So, Volume of sphere = 1766.25 cm^3

An airplane has its auto pilot set to fly in a direction of 40 degrees at a speed of 320 mph. The wind is blowing the airplane t
Effectus [21]

Answer:

distance: 320.624 miles

direction: 43.576°

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed and direction can be found by adding the given vectors.

... 320∠40° + 20∠130°

... = (320·cos(40°), 320·sin(40°)) + (20·cos(130°), 20·sin(130°))

... = (245.134, 205.692) +(-12.856, 15.321) = (232.278, 221.013)

The magnitude of the vector with these components is found using the Pythagorean theorem. The direction is found using the arctangent function.

... = √(232.278² +221.013²)∠arctan(221.013/232.278)

... = 320.624∠43.576°

<em>Comment on coordinate systems</em>

Navigation directions are generally measured clockwise from North. Angles in the usual x-y coordinate plane are measured counterclockwise from +x (effectively, East). You can consider the geometry of the navigation coordinate system to be a reflection across the line y=x of the geometry of the usual x-y coordinate system.

Reflection does not change lengths or angles within a given geometry. Hence, we can use all the usual tools of vector calculation using navigation coordinates, without bothering to translate them back and forth to x-y coordinates.

_____

Problems like this generally can be worked using the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines, too. It generally helps to draw a diagram so you can find the values of the angles betwee the various vectors more easily.

Anna’s bank gives her a loan with a stated interest rate of 10.22%. How much greater will Anna’s effective interest rate be if t
nata0808 [166]
If the interest rate is compounded daily, we have the effective interest rate calculated as:
r = (1 + 0.1022/30)^30 -1
r = 0.1074 or 10.74%

Therefore, the effective interest rate if the compounded daily rather than monthly is 10.74-10.22 = 0.52 points higher.
