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:

I used the Pythagorean theorem.

A^2 + b^2 =C^2

14^2 + 48^ = c^2

196 + 2304 = 2500

Sqrt 2500 = 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:

26. The hypotenuse is usually the longest side, and 10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2.

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:

I used the formulas v = 4/3 pi r^3 and a = 4 pi r^2

V = 4/3 pi 3^3

V = 4/3 pi 27 m^3

V = 108/3 pi m^3

V= 36 pi m^3

A= 4 pi 3^2 m

A = 4 pi 9 m^2

A = 36 pi 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:

D = 26, so r = 13

Pool and enclosure:

A = pi r 2

A = pi 13^2

A = 169pi ft^2

Pool:

R = 10ft

A = pi r^2

A = 100 pi ft^2

169pift^2 – 100 pi ft^2 =69pi ft^2

A = 69 pi ft^2 ~= 216 ft

The fence is found by finding the circumfrance, 2 pi r

C = 2 pi 13

C = 26 pi

C ~= 81.6 ft.

confidence rating #$&*

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

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

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. **
