The volume of a boys' basketball is 434 cubic inches. Dan would like to get a ball with half the volume for his son. What is be the diameter of the ball that Dan will buy
for his son?
A 9.4 inches
B 4.7 inches
C 3.7 inches
D 7.4 inches

The correct answer is A. 9.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the volume of a boys' basketball is 434 cubic inches, and Dan would like to get a ball with half the volume for his son, to determine what is the diameter of the ball that Dan will buy for his son, the following calculation has to be done, knowing that the volume of a sphere is four thirds multiplied by pi multiplied by the radius cubed:

4/3 x 3.14 x X ^ 3 = 434

4.186 x X ^ 3 = 434

X ^ 3 = 434 / 4.186

X = 3√ 103.662

X = 4.7

In turn, since the radius of a sphere is equal to half its diameter, the diameter of the basketball is 9.4 inches (4.7 x 2).

la parábola es el lugar

geométrico en el cual los puntos tienen una distancia idéntica, equidistantes,

de un punto denominado foco, f, y una recta denominada directriz

el radio vector de una

parábola es el segmento que existe entre un punto cualquiera y el foco.

por la ecuación se observa

que la parábola abre hacia la derecha, por lo cual podemos usar las siguientes fórmulas

la ecuación ordinaria de la

parábola es y^2 = 4px, donde p es la longitud desde el vértice de la parábola al

foco.

la fórmula de la directriz

es x + p = 0

resolviendo:

y^2-9x = 0

y^2 = 9x

4p = 9, entonces p = 9/4

entonces el foco tendrá la

coordenada f(9/4,0)

la directriz vendrá

expresada por

x + p = 0

x = -p

x = -9/4

el problema indica que la

ordenada es igual a 6, entonces

(6)^2=9x

x = 36/9

x = 4

entonces el punto al cual

hay que obtener la distancia será p(4,6)

calculando se tendrá: pf = 

pf = 6,25 u
