What is the volume of a circle?

The formula for determining volume varies with the shape of the object. A cylinder that has a circular base has volume because it is three dimensional. The formula for determining its volume is pi times the radius of the circular base squared times the height of the cylinder. The area of a circle is found by the formula pi times the radius squared. Pi is equal to approximately 3.14, and the radius is half of the circle's diameter.

What does "vertices" mean?

The corners of a polygon can be referred to as vertices. A square and a rectangle both have four vertices. A pentagon has five vertices. A cube has eight vertices. Triangles have three vertices. A three-dimensional cube is made up of eight vertices, six faces, and twelve edges. A three-dimensional tetrahedron has four vertices, four faces, and six edges.

What is 1/3 cup plus 1/3 cup?

In the above problem, the denominators are already the same. If they are not, a common denominator must be found. For instance, before adding 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup, it is necessary to find a denominator that is divisible by both two and three. The denominator in this case is six. To make 1/3 into a fraction with a denominator of six, both numbers are multiplied by two, and to make 1/2 into a fraction with a denominator of six, both numbers are multiplied by three. The problem becomes 2/6 cup plus 3/6 cup equals 5/6 cup.

How do you find the diameter of a circle?

Input the variables of the equationReplace the equation d=C/pi by switching C with 18.8754 and substituting 3.1459 for pi. This gives the equation d=18.8754/3.1459, or the diameter is 18.8754 divided by 3.1459.Solve the equationDivide the numbers to discover the diameter of this particular circle is 6 inches. Check your answer by inputting the numbers for the equation C=pi*d, or the circumference equals to the diameter times pi, and determine that six times 3.1459 is 18.8754.Find the center and measureWhen you do not have the circumference of a circle to use in the equation, find the center of..

What is the square root of 17?

The square root of a number, b, is the number, a, which when multiplied by itself equals b. This is exemplified in the equation a * a = b or √ = a. To write a square root function in simple form, the square of a whole number should be factored out. For example, the square root of 24 is the square root of four times the square root of 6. The equation is simplified by writing two times the square root of six.

How big is a cereal box?

The ready-to-eat cereal market is a $13 billion industry, and some cereal companies use bio-plastic bags in place of cereal boxes. Generally, cereal boxes are made of chipboard, or paperboard. This is a different type of paper grade than regular cardboard. It is not possible to recycle cereal boxes. Consumers can create individualized cereal boxes online using their own pictures.

How do you find the slope of an equation?

Place the equation in slope intercept formThe first step in determining the slope of an equation is to rearrange the equation in the slope intercept form. The slope intercept equation is y = mx+b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x and y are points in the line. Solve for mIf the y-intercept and a set of points are given, then solve for m to find the slope of the line. Plug the y-intercept, the x point and the y point into the slope intercept equation, and solve for m. Check the answerAfter solving for m, check the answer by graphing the line. Place the x and y points on a graph,..

What is the median of a triangle?

The centroid divides each median in the same way. The part of the median between the vertex and centroid is twice as long as the section between the midpoint and centroid.\nAll three medians of an equilateral triangle are the same length. For an isosceles triangle, the medians that extend from the vertices of the two equal angles are also equal. The medians of a scalene triangle all have different lengths.

What is 3x/4?

For example, to calculate the value of Y when X is 3, first insert the numerical value of X into the equation: Y=3*3/4. The simplified equation reveals that Y equals 9/4, or 2.25. Continue to solve for Y to establish a linear progression of points. The X and Y points can be plotted on a graph as dots, and a straight line can be drawn through them. Graphing calculators can perform these functions automatically.

How many zeros are in one trillion?

Since there are six zeros in one million and three in one thousand, a thousand thousand million has three plus three plus six, or 12, zeros. Similarly, since one billion equals one thousand million, it has three plus six, or nine, zeros. Quadrillion is one thousand trillion. It then has three plus 12, or 15, zeros. The Googol is written with a one followed by 100 zeros, and the Googolplex is written with a one followed by a Googol of zeros.
