Lateral area of the cone is given by:
LA=πr√(h²+r²)
where:
h=height
r=radius
Given that LA=287.5 yd² and r=(15/2) yds, then the height will be:
287.5=7.5π√(h²+7.5²)
solving for h we get:
(287.5/7.5π)²=h²+7.5²
thus
h²=(287.5/7.5π)²-7.5²
h²=63.1851597
To get the slant height we use Pythagorean theorem.
c²=a²+b²
a²=h², b²=7.5²
thus
c²=h²+7.5²
c²=63.1851597+56.25
c²=119.4351597
c=10.92864~10.9 yards
(8 2/3) / (2/3) = x / 1....8 2/3 miles to 2/3 hr = x miles to 1 hr
cross multiply
(2/3)(x) = (8 2/3)(1)
2/3x = 26/3
x = 26/3 * 3/2
x = 26/2...which equals 13....she will ride 13 miles in 1 hr
Yes, -9 can be written as a fraction over 1, meaning it is a rational number
