Consider a triangle ABC with AB = 2, BC = 5, and AC = 6. If the triangle is rotated around AB, what is the volume of the solid that is generated?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the solid generated is 52.33 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC

  • AB = 2
  • BC = 5
  • AC = 6

If the ABC triangle is rotated around AB, it would generate a circular cone. The volume of the generated cone can be computed using the following formula.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

From the given triangle,  

  • AB = height = 2
  • BC = radius = 5

So,  

Putting these values in [tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h[/tex] would yield the volume of a circular cone.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}(3.14) (5)^{2} (2)[/tex]

[tex]V=52.33[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the solid generated is 52.33 cubic units.
