A cone that is sliced through the vertex would make the shape of a triangle.
You are told the h eight is 10 cm and the radius is 4 cm.
The radius would be half the base, so the base would be 4 * 2 =8 cm.
The area of the triangle is found by multiplying the base by the height, then dividing by two.
Area = 8 x 10 = 80
80 / 2 = 40 square centimeters.
Answer:
<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Let's call
b= base of the triangle
h=height of the triangle
The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:
b = h + 9
The area of the triangle is:


And its value is 180:

Multiplying by 2:

Operating:

Factoring:

The only valid positive solution is:
h = 15 cm
And b = h + 9 = 24
b = 24 cm
The base is 24 cm long.
8/11 of what = 16
8/11x = 16
x = 16 * 11/8
x = 176/8
x = 22......so there are a total of 22 fish in the tank
To convert a percent to decimal, move the decimal place two places to the left. You get 0.091
