We can’t see the picture sorry
So the best and correct answer is C because this is how you do it The surface area of the cone has formula
pi * radius * ( radius + sqrt ( height^2 + radius^2)) =
pi * radius^2 + pi * radius * sqrt( height^2 + radius^2)
However, this includes the base of the cone and the hats do NOT have
that. "The hats are shaped like a cone with NO BASE", says the 3rd sentence.
So the formula becomes pi * radius * sqrt( height^2 + radius^2)
diameter = 16
radius = 8
height = 9
The surface area of ONE of the hats is pi * 8 * sqrt( 9^2 + 8^2)
= pi * 8 * sqrt( 81+64)
= pi * 8 * sqrt(145)

21 of them is 21 * 302... = 6355.40689112841343251026086.....
I hope this helps you
x^2+2x+8=0
x^2+2x+1+7=0
(x+1)^2= -7
(x+1)^2= i^2.7
x+1= i.square root of 7
x=-1+ i.square root of 7
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
