(0.2)x = 2.

Taking log on both sides

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x= 0.3010/-0.699.

x= = -0.4306….

x= = -0.4.

x = 0.3010/-0.699

x = -0.4306

x= -0.4 (nearest tenth)

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=3\\ V=49\pi \end{cases}\implies 49\pi =\cfrac{\pi r^2(3)}{3}\implies 49\pi =\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{49\pi }{\pi }=r^2\implies 49=r^2\implies \sqrt{49}=r\implies 7=r$
