You can use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2.

x^2+36=117 so x is 9 or -9 but since this is a length it would have to be positive so the answer is 9.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square root of the sum of its squared sides, mathematically:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where h=hypotenuse and x and y are the side lengths.

In this case we can say:

(√117)^2=6^2+x^2

117=36+x^2

x^2=117-36

x^2=81

x=√81 since x>0

x=9 cm

Mr. Hernandez's backyard is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 10 m, a top base of 15 m, and a bottom base of 19 m. In his

Zolol [24]

The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where A is area, b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values,
A = 0.5(15 m + 19 m)(10 m)
A = 170 m²
The area of the garden is 170 m².

The volume of a cone is 1540cm³. If its radius is 7cm, calculate the height of the cone. (Take pi = 22/7)

Ann [662]

Answer:

$h=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone=1540 $cm^{3}$ , Radius=7cm.

The height of a cone=h

When we need to find the height of a cone, we can use the formula of the volume of a cone, which is $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$ to find the height of a cone.
