Atoy designer is creating a basketball plushy. the designer has fabric that measures 171.9 sq. in. what is the maximum radius of the basketball that the designer can create? use 3.14 for π.

13.7 in
6.9 in
3.7 in
3.4 in

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a sphere of radius R, the surface of a sphere is :

The designer has fabric that measures

That will the maximum sphere surface.

Now, we need to replace in the equation to find the maximum value of R ⇒

Using the data that ⇒

⇒

We know that ⇒

≅

The maximum radius of the basketball that the designer can create is

tangent

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
