The volume of a right circular cone varies jointly as the altitude and the square of the radius of the base. If the volume of th

e cone is 154 cu. in. when its altitude is 12 in. and the radius of the base is 3 1/2 in., find the altitude when the volume of the cone is 77 cu. in. and the radius of the base is 2 1/3 in. Altitude = ? inches

Answer:13.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the volume of a right circular cone varies jointly as the altitude and the square of the radius of the base

So our equation for volume becomes

V = c*h*r^2

where 'h' is altitude and 'r' is radius of base and 'c' is constant

Putting the value of V,h,r,

we get,

154 = c*12*3.5*3.5

c = 22/21

Now we have volume = 77 cu and radius of the base =7/3, so putting the values we get,

77 = 22/21*h*7/3*7/3

or, h= 13.5

Hope it helps!!!

Answer: 13.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The volume of a right circular cone varies jointly as the altitude and the square of the radius of the base.

V α r² h , where r= radius and h = height.

i.e. V = k r² h    (1), where c is the constant of proportionality.

When the volume of the cone is 154 cu. in. when its altitude is 12 in. and the radius of the base is 3\dfrac{1}{2}\ in. .

Put V= 154  ,  r =3\dfrac{1}{2}\ in. =\dfrac{7}{2}\ in. and h = 12

in (1) , we get

154= k(\dfrac{7}{2})^2(12)

154= k \dfrac{49}{4}(12)

154= k (147)\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{154}{147}=\dfrac{22}{21}

When the volume of the cone is 77 cu. in. and the radius of the base is 2\dfrac{1}{3}\ in.

Put V = 77 , r=2\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}\ in. and k=\dfrac{22}{21} in (1) , we get

77=(\dfrac{22}{21})(\dfrac{7}{3})^2h

77=(\dfrac{22}{21})(\dfrac{49}{9})h

77\times\dfrac{21}{22}\times\dfrac{9}{49}=h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\dfrac{27}{2}=13.5\ in.

Hence, the altitude = 13.5 inches.

Find the volume of the cone and the curved surface area of the cone
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

301.6, 188.5

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the volume of the cone is πr^{2} \frac{h}{3}

so π x 6^{2} \frac{8}{3}

=301.59 or 301.6

now to find the curved surface area of the cone is πrl

so π x 6 x 10

=188.49 or 188.5

The measures of the three angles whose sum is 160 are in the extended ratio ​2:​5:9. Find the exact angle measures.
yanalaym [24]

Answer: 20°, 50° and 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the measures of the three angles whose sum is 160 are in the extended ratio ​2:​5:9.

The exact angle measures will then be:

= 2/(2+5+9) × 160°

= 2/16 × 160°

= 20°

= 5/(2+5+9) × 160°

= 5/16 × 160°

= 50°

= 9/(2+5+9) × 160°

= 9/16 × 160°

= 90°
