Answer 1

1. The area of the triangle PQR is 40 cm^2.

2. 321.4 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We are given two triangles, ABC and PQR, which are similar to each other.

Given that area of the triangle ABC is
`40cm^2`, we are to find the area of the triangle PQR.

For that, we can use the ratio method:

`\frac { P Q R } { 4 0 } = \frac { 6 } { 4 }`

Area of triangle PQR =
`\frac { 6 * 40 } { 4 } = 60cm^2`

2. We are given the diameter of a spherical model to be 8.5 cm so its radius will be 4.25 cm.

Finding the volume of the spherical model as we know that the volume of a sphere is given by:

`(4)/(3) \pi r^3`

Substituting the given value of radius in the formula to get:

Volume of spherical model =
`(4)/(3) * 3.14 * (4.25)^3` = 321.4 cubic cm
