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:

To find the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the legs 14 and 48 I used the Pythagorean theorem.

- c^2 = a^2+b^2

c^2 = 14^2 + 48^2

c^2 = 196 + 2,304

c^2 = sqrt. 2,500

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:

To determine that if it is a right triangle or not I first squared all legs and then took the first and second and added them together to see if they equaled the 3rd.

10^2 = 100

24^2 = 576

26^2 = 676

100 + 576 = 676

This told me that it was a right triangle. Being a right triangle the longest side is the hypotenuse. That makes the hypotenuse 26.

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:

The volume of a sphere is equal to:

4/3pir^3

4/3*pi*3m^3

4/3*pi*27m^3

36 pi m^3

The surface area of a sphere is equal to:

4pir^2

4*pi*3m^2

4*pi*9m^2

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:

To find the area of the pool I used the equation for the area of a circle. I first did the area of the pool and then the area of the deck and pool combined.

POOL : A= pi r^2

A = pi 10^2

A = pi*100

A = 100 pi ft^2

POOL: pool radius + deck = combined radius

& 10 ft + 3ft = 13 ft.

DECK A=pi*r^2

A= pi*13ft^2

A= pi*169^2

A= 169 pi ft^2

To find just the deck I took the deck and pool area and subtracted the pool area from that giving me the deck area:

169 pi ft^2 - 100pi ft^2 = 69 pi ft^2 as the deck area

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. **
