I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

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.
