Sarah has a pond in the shape of a half sphere in her back yard. The pond currently holds 1,071.79 cubic inches of water. What is the radius of the pond? Sarah wants to double the volume of the pond. What will the new radius be?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula ...

  V = (2/3)πr³

Then the radius is ...

  r = ∛(3V/(2π))

  r = ∛(3·1071.79/(2·3.14)) ≈ ∛512.00 ≈ 8.00

The radius of Sarah's pond is 8 inches.

__

We can see from the above that the radius is proportional to the cube root of the volume. If Sarah wants to double the volume, she needs to multiply the radius by ∛2 ≈ 1.260.

The new radius will be 8∛2 ≈ 10.08 inches.

answer: finding the extract measurements and knowing the points

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
