Cylinders

A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.

Cones

A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is dr…

Use the figure for Exercises 1-2. Suppose you use geometry software to construct a secant CE and tangent CD that intersect on a circle at point C. File Edit Display Construct Transform Measure Graph Window Help D 1. Suppose you measure /DCE and you measure CBE. Then you drag the points around the circle and measure the angle and arc three more times. What would you expect to find each time? Which theorem from the lesson would you be demonstrating? 2. When the measure of the intercepted arc is 180°, what is the measure of the angle? What does that tell you about the secant?

A tournament is a complete directed graph, for each pair of vertices x, y either (x, y) is an arc or (y, x) is an arc. One can think of this as a round robin tournament, where the vertices represent teams, each pair plays exactly once, with the direction of the arc indicating which team wins. (a) Prove that every tournament has a direct Hamiltonian path. That is a labeling of the teams V1, V2,..., Un so that vi beats Vi+1. That is a labeling so that team 1 beats team 2, team 2 beats team 3, etc. (b) A digraph is strongly connected if there is a directed path from any vertex to any other vertex. Equivalently, there is no partition of the teams into groups A, B so that every team in A beats every team in B. Prove that every strongly connected tournament has a directed Hamiltonian cycle. Use this to show that for any team there is an ordering as in part (a) for which the given team is first. (c) A king in a tournament is a vertex such that there is a direct path of length at most 2 to any…

The following is known. The complete graph K2t on an even number of vertices has a 1- factorization (equivalently, its edges can be colored with 2t - 1 colors so that the edges incident to each vertex are distinct). This implies that the complete graph K2t+1 on an odd number of vertices has a factorization into copies of tK2 + K₁ (a matching plus an isolated vertex). A group of 10 people wants to set up a 45 week tennis schedule playing doubles, each week, the players will form 5 pairs. One of the pairs will not play, the other 4 pairs will each play one doubles match, two of the pairs playing each other and the other two pairs playing each other. Set up a schedule with the following constraints: Each pair of players is a doubles team exactly 4 times; during those 4 matches they see each other player exactly once; no two doubles teams play each other more than once. (a) Find a schedule. Hint - think about breaking the 45 weeks into 9 blocks of 5 weeks. Use factorizations of complete…
