-15 is the smaller number because the further you go into the negatives like -30, -47, -52; youre getting further away from 0 and after 0 are positive numbers so -15 would be the smaller number

-5 is bigger because it is closer to zero on the number line. This is because negative numbers get smaller and smaller the farther they are from zero.

Answer:

$h=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone=1540 $cm^{3}$ , Radius=7cm.

The height of a cone=h
