Example Question #1994 : Hspt Mathematics

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Write the formula for the volume of a sphere.

Since the diameter is 14 the radius is half the diameter, which is 7.  Substitute the radius and solve for the volume.

Example Question #1401 : Concepts

Find the area of a cylinder with radius 7 and height 2.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

Thus,

Given the height is 2 and the radius is 7, substitute these values into the above formula to solve for volume.

Example Question #107 : Properties Of Triangles

If the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is , what is the value of one of its base angles?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are the same. Also, the three angles of a triangle add up to .

So, subtract the vertex angle from . You get .

Because there are two base angles you divide  by , and you get .
