Hey again, you can use trigonometric ratios for this one. You are trying to find the side length opposite of angle G, when you have the adjacent side length value known. You can use TOA, or tan((opposite/adjacent)) . Tan(50) = x/10

X= 11.92 cm

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\qquad h=4r\implies V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 \cdot 4r}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dv}{dt}=\cfrac{4\pi }{3}\cdot 3r^2\cdot \cfrac{dr}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dv}{dt}=4\pi r^2\cdot \cfrac{dr}{dt}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\frac{dr}{dt}=4\\\\
r=7
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dv}{dt}=4\pi (7)^2\cdot 4$
