Answer:

  (a) |s - x| ≤ 3/16

  (b) 4 15/16 ≤ x ≤ 5 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The absolute value of the difference from spec must be no greater than than the allowed tolerance:

  |s - x| ≤ 3/16

__

(b) Put 5 1/8 for s in the above equation and solve.

  |5 1/8 - x| ≤ 3/16

  -3/16 ≤ 5 1/8 -x ≤ 3/16

  3/16 ≥ x -5 1/8 ≥ -3/16 . . . . multiply by -1 to get positive x

  5 5/16 ≥ x ≥ 4 15/16 . . . . . . add 5 1/8

Pieces may be between 4 15/16 and 5 5/16 inches in length.

Find the volume of the cone. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The volume of the cone is 16.8 in cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cone is πr^2 multiplied by h/3. The r is radius and h is height. So throwing in the values for the variables we get 16.8 in cubed.
