Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a cone. The formula for the volume of a cone is:
The radius is 4.8 and the height is 2.9. Substitute:
Use a calculator:
And we're done!
Best to find the equation of the parabola first:
Its equation is y+12.5 = (x+1.5)^2, or y = -12.5 + (x+1.5)^2
Check the first possible x-intercept: let x = -2. Does y come out to 0?
y = -12.5 + (-0.5)^2 = -12.5 + 0.25. This is not equal to 0, so (-2,0) is not an x-intercept of this parabola. Continue checking each possible x-intercept until you find the right one (or ones).
