Answer:

The numbers are 17 and 34.

Answer and how to solve this

Step-by-step explanation:

When it says x = something, that basically means to replace the x with whatever it says x equals.

x = 0. Equation /. 3 x 0 = 0 + 1 = 1. Y = 1

x = -1. Equation/. 3 x -1 = -3 + 1 = -2. Y = -2

x = 2. Equation/. 3 x 2 = 6 + 1 = 7. Y = 7

Hope this helps!! (:

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet to the nearest whole unit what is

RideAnS [48]

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{total surface area of a cone}\\\\
SA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=17\\
\sqrt{r^2+h^2}=12
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
SA=\pi (17)(12)+\pi (17)^2\implies SA=204\pi +289\pi \implies SA=493\pi$
