There may be a much easier way to do this, but we can find the volume of the frustum by creating a cross-sectional kite .......the sphere will  have a circular cross-section and the frustum will have a cross-sectional trapezoid 

 

 

First......since the sphere is tangent to the frustum at both the top and bottom bases, the frustum height  is  =  6

 

So.....we can create a 6-8-10  Pythagorean right triangle DGF  as shown in the illustration - with one leg of 6 - (GF)  - one leg of 8 - (DG) -  and the slant height - (DF)  -forming the hypotenuse........the cosine of  angle FDG  ( at the bottom right vertex of the frustum ) =   8/10   =  4/5

 

Now......the radii of the circle will form kite  ABCD  

 

Connect AC......angle ABC will be supplementary to angle FDG......so its cosine  = -4/5

And because DA and DC are tangents drawn from the same point D, they are equal

And we can use the Law of Cosines to find AC

Note: AB  and BC are radii of the circle

 

AC^2 =  AB^2 + BC^2  - 2(AB)(BC)(cos ABC)

AC^2  =  3^2 + 3^2  - 2(3)(3) (-4/5)

AC^2 = 18  + 72/5

AC^2  =  [ 90 + 72] / 5

AC^2  =  [ 162 / 5 ]

 

 

And Using the Law of Cosines once more, we can find the lenths of DA and DC.....let their lengths = x......and we have

 

AC^2  =   x^2 + x^2  -  2 (x^2)cos(CDA)

[ 162 / 5 ]  =  2x^2 - 2x^2 [ 4/5 ]

[162/ 5 ]  = 2x^2 [ 1 - 4/5]

[ 162 / 5 ] = 2x^2 [ 1/5]

162 = 2x^2

x^2  = 81

x = 9  =   DA  =  DC

 

But DA  =  radius  of the bottom base of the frustum

And since DC = 9.....then CF  = FD - DC  =  10 - 9   =  1

But CF = FE since they are tangents drawn from the point F

And FE  =  radius of the top base of the frustum

 

So.....using the fomula for the volume of a frustum, we have

 

V  = pi * GF * ( DA^2 + DA*FE^2 + FE^2 ) / 3  

 

Where 

GF  = frustum height

DA =  radius of bottom base

FE = radius of top base

 

So we have

 

 

pi * ( 6) *  ( 9^2  + 9 * 1 + 1^2 ) / 3  =

 

pi (6)  ( 81 + 9 + 1 ) / 3    =

 

pi (6) (91) / 3  =

 

2  * 91 pi  =

 

182 pi  units^3

1. standard form of a linear equation, like yours is  \(ax^2+by = c\). So it would be written as \(8x-10y = 7\).

 

2. The y-intercept of a graph is when the x-value is 0. So in this equation, we can set x to 0. \(3(0) -5y = 7 \implies -5y = 7 \implies y = -\frac{7}{5}\)

 

3. We know we find the equation with point-slope form, which is \(y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)\) where m is the slope. \(y_1\) is the y-value of any of the points. and \(x_1\) is the value of the x-coordinate corresponding with the y-coordinate. So we can simplify to \(y-3=m\left(x-3\right)\)Then we can find the slope of the graph from the two points. which is 2/5. Then we plug in the values and solve\(y-3=m\left(x-3\right) \implies y-3=\frac{2}{5}\left(x-3\right) \implies y - 3 = \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{6}{5} \)\(\boxed{y = \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{9}{5}}\)

 

4. We can begin by putting line 1 in slope intercept form. 8y = -5x -9. y = -5/8x - 9/8. If line 2 is going to be perpindicular to line 1, their slopes are going to be opposite reciprocals of each other. So the slope of line 2 is 8/5. Then like in problem 3, we can use the point slope form. \(y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right) \implies y-y_1=\frac{8}{5}\left(x-x_1\right)\) We also have the point (10,10). So we can substitute the point in the equation. \(y-y_1=\frac{8}{5}\left(x-x_1\right) \implies y-10=\frac{8}{5}\left(x-10\right) \implies y -10 = \frac{8}{5}x - 16 \implies y = \frac{8}{5}x -6\)8/5 is m, and -6 is b. 8/5 + (-6) = 8/5 - 6  = \(\boxed{-\frac{22}{5}}\)

 

5. We can start by finding the equation of the line segment using the point-slope form. \(y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right) \implies y-2=m\left(x-1\right)\)We can find the slope from the points and see it is 1/3. So \( y-2=\frac{1}{3}\left(x-1\right) \implies y - 2 = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{3} \implies y = \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}\) Then we know that the perpindicular bisector has an opposite reciprocal slope. So \(\boxed{y = -3x + \frac{5}{3}}\)is the equation of the perpendicular bisector. 

 

Hope that helps!
