Problem 43
OPEN-ENDED Sketch two rectangular prisms that have volumes of 100 cubic inches but different surface areas. Include dimensions in your sketches.
Problem 44
A spherical lune is the region between two great circles of a sphere. Find the formula for the area of a lune.
Problem 44
Explain how to find the area of the regular hexagon by dividing the hexagon into equilateral triangles.
Problem 45
Rewrite the formula for the area of a rhombus for the special case of a square with side length s. Show that this is the same as the formula for the area of a square, \(A=s^{2}\)
Problem 46
Use the formula for the area of a regular polygon to show that the area of an equilateral triangle can be found by using the formula \(A=\frac{1}{4} s^{2} \sqrt{3},\) where \(s\) is the side length.
Problem 46
CRITICAL THINKING The height of cylinder X is twice the height of cylinder Y. The radius of cylinder X is half the radius of cylinder Y. Compare the volumes of cylinder X and cylinder Y. Justify your answer.
Problem 48
MATHEMATICAL CONNECTIONS You drill a circular hole of radius r through the base of a cylinder of radius R. Assume the hole is drilled completely through to the other base. You want the volume of the hole to be half the volume of the cylinder. Express r as a function of R.
Problem 49
Solve the triangle. Round decimal answers to the nearest tenth. $$\mathrm{B}=102^{\circ}, \mathrm{C}=43^{\circ}, \mathrm{b}=21$$
Problem 50
ANALYZING RELATIONSHIPS How can you change the edge length of a cube so that the volume is reduced by 40%?
Problem 50
The area of a regular n-gon is given by \(A=\frac{1}{2} a P\) . As n approaches in infinity, what does the n-gon approach? What does \(P\) approach? What does a approach? What can you conclude from your three answers? Explain your reasoning.
