I need to see the diagrams to tell you.
h that happens. to me
Step-by-step explanation:
all the time
keeping in mind that radius is half the diameter, we know this cone has a diameter of 2 inches, so it has a radius of 1 inch, kinda small really for ice-cream, but anyhow.
![\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=1\\ h=6 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (1)^26}{3}\implies V=2\pi \implies \underset{\textit{rounded up}}{V\approx 6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctextit%7Bvolume%20of%20a%20cone%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20V%3D%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20r%5E2%20h%7D%7B3%7D~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20r%3Dradius%5C%5C%20h%3Dheight%5C%5C%5B-0.5em%5D%20%5Chrulefill%5C%5C%20r%3D1%5C%5C%20h%3D6%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20V%3D%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%281%29%5E26%7D%7B3%7D%5Cimplies%20V%3D2%5Cpi%20%5Cimplies%20%5Cunderset%7B%5Ctextit%7Brounded%20up%7D%7D%7BV%5Capprox%206%7D)
Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.
How tall was it yesterday?
27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.
27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.
The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.
To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches
1. x= 27.6
2. x= 41
3. x= 30.2
I'm not sure what the triple thing is but hoped I helped with the other stuff.
