Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The prism shown is a pentagonal prism

And we need to find the lateral surface area ( pretty much area of everything except for the bases.)

We can calculate the lateral surface area by using this formula

$la=5ah$

where a (on the right hand side) equals the base edge length and h = height

(btw the 5 represents the number of sides)

so the base edge length of the shown figure is 5 and the height is 10

having found this information we plug it into the formula

$la=5*5*10\\10*5=50\\50*5=250$

so we can conclude that the lateral surface area of the shown pentagonal prism is 250 cm²

The radius of a sphere decreases at a rate of 6 m/sec. find the rate at which the surface area decreases when the radius is 20 m

DanielleElmas [232]

The radius of the sphere decreases at the rate of 6 m/ sec

That is, $\frac{dr}{dt}=-6$

Surface Area of the sphere of radius r is given by $S=4\pi r^2$

Differentiating with respect to t,

$\frac{dS}{dt}=4\pi (2r)\frac{dr}{dt}=8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dS}{dt}=8\pi (20)^2(-6)=-960\pi \: m^2/sec$

Find the length of the following two-dimensional curve. r (t ) = (1/2 t^2, 1/3(2t+1)^3/2) for 0 < t < 16

andrezito [222]

Answer:

r = 144 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given curve corresponds to a parametric function in which the Cartesian coordinates are written in terms of a parameter "t". In that sense, any change in x can also change in y owing to this direct relationship with "t". To find the length of the curve is useful the following expression;

$r(t)=\int\limits^a_b ({r`)^2 \, dt =\int\limits^b_a \sqrt{((\frac{dx}{dt} )^2 +\frac{dy}{dt} )^2)} dt$

In agreement with the given data from the exercise, the length of the curve is found in between two points, namely 0 < t < 16. In that case a=0 and b=16. The concept of the integral involves the sum of different areas at between the interval points, although this technique is powerful, it would be more convenient to use the integral notation written above.

Substituting the terms of the equation and the derivative of r´, as follows,

$r(t)= \int\limits^b_a \sqrt{((\frac{d((1/2)t^2)}{dt} )^2 +\frac{d((1/3)(2t+1)^{3/2})}{dt} )^2)} dt$
