1.)Convert into Proportion: 3.5/1.7=x/36.5
2.)Cross Multiply: 1.7x=127.75
3.)Simplify and Solve: x=75.14

x=75.14m tall

Need help with this

blondinia [14]

Answer:

r = √(3V/(πh))
r ≈ 1.78 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of r², then take the square root.

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{\pi h}{3}r^2\\\\r^2=\dfrac{3V}{\pi h}\\\\\boxed{r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3V}{\pi h}}}$

For V=50, h=15, this is ...

${r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3(50)}{\pi(15)}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{\pi}}\approx\boxed{1.78\quad\text{cm}}$
