What is the surface area in square inches of a basketball that has a diameter of 9 inches

Answers

Answer 1

if its diameter is 9, that means its radius is half that, or 4.5.

[tex]\textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2 ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=4.5 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} SA=4\pi (4.5)^2\implies SA=81\pi \\\\\\ SA\approx 254.47~in^2 \end{array}[/tex]

Answer 2

The surface area of the basketball with diameter of 9 in will be 254.34 in².

What is surface area?

The surface area of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies.

Given that, a basketball has a diameter of 9 inches we need to find its surface area,

Since, the basketball is in the shape of the sphere and the surface area of the sphere = 4π×radius²

Therefore, the surface area of the basketball =

= 4×3.14×(9/2)²

= 4×3.14×4.5×4.5

= 254.34 in²

Hence the surface area of the basketball with diameter of 9 in will be 254.34 in².

So let’s put the missing number in as x
5/4=x/10 we cross multiply
5x=40
Isolate x so we divide both sides by 5 (whatever we do to one side we do to the other)

If sin Q = 4/5, cos P + cos Q

Answers

The value of the cos P + cos Q is 7/5 if sin Q = 4/5 after applying the identities of trigonometric.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We know that:

P + Q are complementary, which means that

P+Q = 90°

Then R is a right angle, i.e. it measures 90°.

sin(90-x) = cos (x)

cos(90-x) = sin (x)

Then sinQ = 4/5  

cos(90-Q) = cosP = 4/5

Now sin²(P) + cos²(P) = 1

sin²(P) = 1 - cos²(P)

sin²(P) = 1 -[4/5]² =9/25

sin(P) = 3/5

cos(Q) = sin(P) = 3/5

cos(P) + cos(Q) = 4/5 + 3/5 = 7/5

Thus, the value of the cos P + cos Q is 7/5 if sin Q = 4/5 after applying the identities of trigonometric.
