1. To the nearest tenth, what is the volume of a sphere whose radius is 1 yard? (V=4/3 pi r^3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Just substitute 1 for r:
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"%284%2F3%29%2Api%2A1%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using a calc:
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"%284%2F3%29%2Api%2A1\"
\n" ); document.write( "V = 4.1888; rounded to 4.2 cu.yds
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2. Solids A and B are similar. The height of solid A is 6 meters and the height of solid B is 15 meters. If the volume of solid B is 250 cubic meters, what is the volume of solid A?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Perhaps we can easily find a relationship here;
\n" ); document.write( "Assume we have 2 cubes,
\n" ); document.write( "6^3 = 216
\n" ); document.write( "15^3 = 3375
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using this relationship in a ratio:
\n" ); document.write( "\"216%2F3375\" = \"A%2F250\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "3375A = 216 * 250
\n" ); document.write( "3375A = 54000
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"54000%2F3375\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 16 cu meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
