Answer:

The volume of the cone is  equal to

V=18 \pi \sqrt{2}\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h

where

r is the radius of the base

h is the height of the cone

In this problem the length of the square base of the pyramid is equal to the diameter of the base of the cone

so

r=6/2=3\ in

Step 1

Find the height of the cone

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

l^{2}=r^{2}+h^{2}

where

l is the slant height

in this problem we have

l=9\ in

r=3\ in

Solve for h

h^{2}=l^{2}-r^{2}

substitute the values

h^{2}=9^{2}-3^{2}

h^{2}=72

h=6\sqrt{2}\ in

Step 2

Find the volume of the cone

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h

we have

r=3\ in

h=6\sqrt{2}\ in

substitute the values

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi 3^{2}(6\sqrt{2})

V=18 \pi \sqrt{2}\ in^{3}

V=(1/3)hpir²

ok, so inscribed
therefor the edge length is the diameter of the cone (the base is on bottom)
so then d=6
d/2=r
6/2=3=r


height
we need pythagoran theorem to find this
if we look at one side and draw the height then we get a right triangle with height is one leg
3 is another
and 9 is hyptonuse
a²+b²=c²
3²+h²=9²
9+h²=81
h²=72
h=6√2



h=6√2
r=3


V=(1/3)(6√2)(pi)(3²)
V=18pi√2 cubic feet

Answer:

6. 8b²-5b-4

7. -3x²+9x-4

8. 3

9. 6a+15

Step-by-step explanation:

you will subtract/add the numbers with the same variables and exponent.

ex. (number 6) 7b²+ b²= 8b²

5b= 5b 8b²+5b-4

1-5= -4

(plus 5b because it didnt come out to a negative) if you have any questions, say in the comments and ill try my best to help

What is the quotient? Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction divided by negative one-fourth
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

-\dfrac{3}{8}

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

-\dfrac{1}{4}

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

<u>Definition</u> of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}

\div is converted to \times and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is \frac{p}{q} it becomes \frac{q}{p} and the sign \div is changed to \times.

Solving above:

-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}

So, the quotient is \frac{3}{2}.
