Question: * R.3.16 \ 12 (was R.3.6) What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 14 and 48 and how did you get your result?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

the hypotenuse would = c in the pythagorean theorem which is c^2= a^2+ b^2 so

c^2= 48^2+14^2

c^2= 2304 + 196

c^2= 2500

sqrt of 2500= sqrt of c

c=50

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* *  ** The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that

 

c^2 = a^2 + b^2,

 

where a and b are the legs and c the hypotenuse.

Substituting 14 and 48 for a and b we get

 

c^2 = 14^2 + 48^2, so that

c^2 = 196 + 2304 or

c^2 = 2500.

 

This tells us that c = + sqrt(2500) or -sqrt(2500).

 

Since the length of a side can't be negative we conclude that c = +sqrt(2500) = 50. **

Question: 

 *   R.3.22 \ 18 (was R.3.12). Is a triangle with legs of 10, 24 and 26 a right triangle, and how did you arrive at your answer?

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

say that the largest number, 26 would be the hypotenuse- so according to the pythagorean theorem 10^2+ 24^2 has to = 26^2

well 100+576=676 so this triangle would be a right triangle

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* *  ** Using the Pythagorean Theorem we have

 

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, if and only if the triangle is a right triangle.

 

Substituting we get

 

26^2 = 10^2 + 24^2, or

676 = 100 + 576 so that

676 = 676

 

This confirms that the Pythagorean Theorem applies and we have a right triangle. **

Question:

 

 * R.3.34 \ 30 (was R.3.24). What are the volume and surface area of a sphere with radius 3 meters, and how did you obtain your result?

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

starting with surface area- the formula for finding the surface area of a sphere is 4*pi *r^2

r=radius so 4*pi*3^2

4*pi*9=

36pi m^2

the volume formula is 4/3 * pi * r^3

so 4/3 * pi * 3^3

4/3 * pi * 27= Volume

(27*4)/3 *pi = Volume

108/3 *pi= Volume

36pi m^2

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

* *  ** To find the volume and surface are a sphere we use the given formulas:

 

Volume = 4/3 * pi * r^3

V = 4/3 * pi * (3 m)^3

V = 4/3 * pi * 27 m^3

V = 36pi m^3

 

Surface Area = 4 * pi * r^2

S = 4 * pi * (3 m)^2

S = 4 * pi * 9 m^2

S = 36pi m^2. **

Question:

*   R.3.50 \ 42 (was R.3.36). A pool of diameter 20 ft is enclosed by a deck of width 3 feet. What is the area of the deck and how did you obtain this result?

 

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

assume that the pool is a perfect circle since it has a diameter and that the deck is a ring around it

the radius is would be the diameter/2 so the pool's radius would be 10ft, and to get the area 3.14*10^2

3.14* 100= 314m^2

to get the area of the deck and pool you can get the diameter first by saying 3+20+3=26 divide that by 2 to get the radius which would = 13 . Now get the area by saying 3.14*13^2

3.14* 169= 530.66 m ^2

now to get the area of just the deck you'd say 530.66-314= 216.66 m^2

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

Think of a circle of radius 10 ft and a circle of radius 13 ft, both with the same center. If you 'cut out' the 10 ft circle you are left with a 'ring' which is 3 ft wide. It is this 'ring' that's covered by the deck.  The 10 ft. circle in the middle is the pool.

 

The deck plus the pool gives you a circle of radius 10 ft + 3 ft = 13 ft.

 

The area of the deck plus the pool is therefore

 

area = pi r^2 = pi * (13 ft)^2 = 169 pi ft^2.

 

So the area of the deck must be

 

deck area = area of deck and pool - area of pool = 169 pi ft^2 - 100 pi ft^2 = 69 pi ft^2. **

????? Would my solution be considered wrong?????"
