- Which has a larger volume, a cube of sides of 8 feet or a sphere with a diameter of 8 feet? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardExplain why the area of the parallelogram shown is given by the formula HINT: You will need to use QN . Exercises 4144arrow_forwardA town park was constructed to form a shape of a trapezoid. The base measures 128meters and 92 meters and its height is 40 meters. A 5-meter-wide stream is constructed which runs perpendicular from the two bases and connected to a river. Calculate the area of the park after the addition of the streamarrow_forward
- Your parents put in fencing around the walkway for safety. If 110 feet of fencing is used, what are the dimensions of the pool? Show your work.arrow_forwardDora says that of the possible rectangles with the same area, the rectangle with the largest parameter will have two side lengths that are one unit. Does her statement make sense? Explain.arrow_forwardThe Washington Monument is an obelisk with a square pyramid top. The slant height of the pyramid is 55.5 feet, and the square base has sides of 34.5 feet. Find the surface area of the pyramid.arrow_forward
- what is the approximation of a sphere if the radius is 4.4?arrow_forwardOne circle has a radius of 8 m, and a second circle has a radius of 10 m. What is the difference in area of the two circles? Use π = 3.14 as an approximation.arrow_forwardExplain whether the two shapes given in each part are similar. How do you know?arrow_forward
- A new park was designed to contain two circular gardens. Garden A has a diameter of 40 m and garden B has a diameter of 80 m. Be sure to insert a picture of your work or you will not receive credit. If the gardener wants to outline the gardens in edging, how many meters will be needed to outline the smaller garden? (Write in terms of π.) How much more edging will be needed for the larger garden than the smaller one? (Write in terms of π.) The gardener wishes to put down weed block fabric on the two gardens before the plants are planted in the ground. How much fabric will be needed to cover the area of both gardens? (Write in terms of π.)arrow_forwardAssuming that Earth is a sphere of radius 6378 kilometers, what is the difference in the latitudes of Lynchburg, Virginia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where Lynchburg is about 400 kilometers due north of Myrtle Beach?
