Find the surface area of the following half-cylinder.

Find the surface area of the following half-cylinder.

Tap to reveal answer
The formula for the surface area of a half-cylinder must include one-half of the surface area of a cylinder, which would be:

We also need to add the area of the new rectangular face that is created by cutting the cylinder in half. The area of this rectangle would be:

where the length of the rectangle is the same as the height of the half-cylinder, and the width of the rectangle is the same as the diameter of the base of the half-cylinder. So we can rewrite the area of the rectangle as:

Now we can combine the two area formulas to find the total surface area of the half-cylinder:


where
is the radius of the base and
is the length of the height, and
is the diameter of the base.
Plugging in our values, we get:

Our backyard pool holds 10,000 gallons. Its average depth is 4 feet deep and it is 10 feet long. If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, how wide is the pool?
Our backyard pool holds 10,000 gallons. Its average depth is 4 feet deep and it is 10 feet long. If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, how wide is the pool?
Tap to reveal answer
There are 7.48 gallons in cubic foot. Set up a ratio:
1 ft3 / 7.48 gallons = x cubic feet / 10,000 gallons
Pool Volume = 10,000 gallons = 10,000 gallons * (1 ft3/ 7.48 gallons) = 1336.9 ft3
Pool Volume = 4ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet
Solve for WIDTH:
4 ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet
WIDTH = 1336.9 / (4 x 10) = 33.4 ft
There are 7.48 gallons in cubic foot. Set up a ratio:
1 ft3 / 7.48 gallons = x cubic feet / 10,000 gallons
Pool Volume = 10,000 gallons = 10,000 gallons * (1 ft3/ 7.48 gallons) = 1336.9 ft3
Pool Volume = 4ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet
Solve for WIDTH:
4 ft x 10 ft x WIDTH = 1336.9 cubic feet
WIDTH = 1336.9 / (4 x 10) = 33.4 ft

If the surface area of a cube equals 96, what is the length of one side of the cube?
If the surface area of a cube equals 96, what is the length of one side of the cube?
Tap to reveal answer
The surface area of a cube = 6a2 where a is the length of the side of each edge of the cube. Put another way, since all sides of a cube are equal, a is just the lenght of one side of a cube.
We have 96 = 6a2 → a2 = 16, so that's the area of one face of the cube.
Solving we get √16, so a = 4

We must first find the radius of the sphere in order to solve this problem. Since we already know the volume, we will use the volume formula to do this.






With the radius of the sphere in hand, we can now apply it to the cube. The radius of the sphere is half the distance from the top to the bottom of the cube (or half the distance from one side to another). Therefore, the radius represents half of a side length of a square. So in this case
