The answer cannot be determined with the given information. To calculate the amount of soil needed, we would need to know the depth of the hole.
A gelatin mold is in the shape of a hemisphere (half-sphere).
If its diameter is 2 inches, find the exact volume of gelatin that will hold.
Question 7 options:

A)

2/3π cu in.

B)

80/3π cu in.

C)

20π cu in.

D)

40/3π cu in.
The volume of a hemisphere can be calculated using the formula: V = (2/3)πr^3, where r is the radius.

Since the diameter is given as 2 inches, the radius is 1 inch.

Putting the values into the formula:

V = (2/3)π(1^3) = (2/3)π cu in.

Therefore, the exact volume of gelatin that the mold will hold is represented by option A) 2/3π cu in.
Solve the problem. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Megan drove her car 10 miles north, then made a left turn and drove 6 miles west.
How far is she, in a straight line, from her starting point?

Question 10 options:

A)

68 mi

B)

5.85 mi

C)

11.7 mi

D)

8 mi
To find the distance Megan is from her starting point, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.

In this case, Megan has driven 10 miles north and 6 miles west, which forms a right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

Distance = √(10^2 + 6^2)

= √(100 + 36)

= √136

≈ 11.66

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Megan is approximately 11.7 miles from her starting point.

Therefore, the answer is option C) 11.7 mi.
