This doesn't contradict Rolle's theorem because does not exists. In other words,
is not differentiable on (-27, 27), so the conditions of Rolle's theorem are not met. (Looks like that would be the last option, or the second to last option if the last one is "Nothing can be concluded")
let's notice something, we have a circle with a radius of 12 and one 90° sector is cut off, so only three 90° sectors of the circle are left shaded, so namely the cone will be using 3/4 of that circle.
think of it as, this shaded area is some piece of paper, and you need to pull it upwards and have the cutoff edges meet, and when that happens, you'll end up with a cone-shaped paper cup, and pour in some punch.
now, once we have pulled up the center of the circle to make our paper cup, there will be a circular base, its diameter not going to be 24, it'll be less, but whatever that base is, we know that is going to have the same circumference as those in the shaded area. Well, what is the circumference of that shaded area?
well then, the circumference of that circle at the bottom will be 18π, so, what is the diameter of a circle with a circumferenc of 18π?
