I understand in the grand scheme of things how its supposed to work/get payed back. But.. That's how taxes are supposed to work on the national deffecit too.....

Government spending hard at work.  Luckily both candidates "say" they want to cut government spending.  

[socalrappy700]

its this crazy freakin word problem lol... its pretty long lol... it has to do with different shapes and how much volume each can hold 

type it up or take a pic and post it. or PM me. 

+1  That my kind of math.

[exentix]

ill just type it... here goes...

a container must hold 400 cubic inches of sand. accurately sketch and label the dimensions of a rectangular prism, sphere, and cylinder which will each hold the 400 cubic inches of sand with the least amount of wasted space. show the calculations that verify that each container will hold 400 cubic inches..... show your work and explain the steps you used to justify your answer. do all work for this problem in the box below. remember you must show all the steps you used to selve the problem even if you used a calculator. to recieve the highest score, all calculations and steps must be shown and explained in writing. numeric answerws must always be labeled...

Rectangluar Prism: It's pretty much guess work. Volume for Rectangle/squares is Length x Width x Height. So basically, anything you make up, as long as it comes to 400 is a good answer...  5" x 5" x 16" would work. ect...

Working on the sphere/cylinder.

yea i have the formulas if u need em... rec. prism. volume = pi x radius sq. x height and sphere is volume = 4/3 pi radius cubed   my brain hurts already  

[Krandall]

the sphere one I'll have to look up.. I don't know how to find volume for a sphere.

I know Volume for a cylinder is  Area times height.
Area is Pi radius squared.

so.. pi radius(squared) x height = 400inches^3

we'll just say our radius is going to be 6.

so....
pi x 36 x H = 400

so....

113.04 x H = 400


Divide both sides by 113.04 and you have foudn your height.

Height = 3.54 inches.

haha that sucks kyle 

alright thanks man, i dont know if we have to use whole numbers or not tho? i doubt it lol... if so it would be 5x6

you got aim dont ya

also note: I rounded Pi to 3.14 and rounded the answer to the hundreth.
