What is the value of x? Round to the nearest tenth. Please Help

Elodia [21]4 years ago

Answer:

<h2>x = 6.5 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment 20.2 cm is the tangent. Therefore x and 20.2cm are perpendicular.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2

We have

leg=x,\ leg=20.2cm,\ hypotenuse=(14.7+x)cm

Substitute:

x^2+20.2^2=(14.7+x)^2           <em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>

x^2+408.04=14.7^2+(2)(14.7)(x)+x^2          <em>subtract x² from both sides</em>

408.04=216.09+29.4x        <em>subtract 216.09 from both sides</em>

191.95=29.4x         <em>divide both sides by 29.4</em>

x\approx6.5\ cm

We need the height of the cone
what we do is we know that when height is 10, V=something, so solve for the diameter is at that point and compare it to 24, the full height
sorry if confusing

V=(1/3)hpir^2
when h=10
160pi/3=1/3(10)pir^2
ties 3 both sides
160pi=10pir^2
divide by 10pi
16=r^2
sqrt both sides
r=4

at that point, the radius is 4
the real radius of the ful is 24/2=12
4/12=1/3
it is 1/3 full

if 1/3=160pi/3cm
2/3=320pi/3cm^3

needs 320pi/3 cm^3
