Algebra.Com's Answer #523148 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A spherical bowl of radius 10 is filled with oil to such a depth that the oil surface is equal to 75(pi) square cm. Compute the volume of the oil and find the area covered by the oil in the tank. \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "The radius of the surface is sqrt(75) cm. \n" ); document.write( "d = depth of oil \n" ); document.write( "75 = d*(20-d) (products of chords) \n" ); document.write( "d^2 - 20d + 75 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "d = 5, d = 15 cm \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "I'll find the area and volume later today. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
