"interverted" or "inverted?"
The vertical height of an inverted cone with base diameter 6 cm and slant height of 6 cm can be found using the Pyth. Thm. Draw or imagine a triangle whose height is h and whose base is 3 cm (not 6) and whose hypotenuse is 6 cm.
Then h^2 + (3 cm)^2 = (6 cm)^2, or h^2 + 9 cm^2 = 36 cm^2, or h^2 = 27 cm^2.
Then the height of the triangle, as well as of the cone, is h = +√27, or
h = +3√3.
150/250! Hope this helps :D
Lan is 146 centimeters tall now.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Let, Lan's current height is 
centimeters
As Lisa is 6 centimeters taller than Lan and Lan is 10 centimeters taller than Jim, so Lisa's current height = 
centimeters and Jim's current height = 
centimeters.
Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters.
So, after 5 months.....
Lan's height = 
centimeters,
Lisa's height = 
centimeters and
Jim's height = 
centimeters
Given that, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height in 5 months. So the equation will be....
So, the current height of Lan is 146 centimeters.
Percent of Increase = Increase / Original * 100%
Increase = $33 - $30 = $3
Original Price = $30
Percent Increase = $3 / $30 * 100% ==== 10%
