Tan(angle) = opposite leg/ adjacent leg

Tan(30) = x/22

X = 22 * tan(30 )

X = 12.701 feet.

Round as needed

erma4kov [3.2K]

AB=11-4=7

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow \dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{CE}{ET}$

ET be x

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow \dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{8}{x}$

$\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 4x=56$

A scoop of ice cream is the shape of a whole perfect sphere sits in a right cone.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula ...

V = 4/3πr³

The volume of a cone is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3πr²h

The ratio of the volume of the cone to that of the sphere is ...

Vcone/Vsphere = (1/3πr²h)/(4/3πr³) = h/(4r)

In order for the ratio to have a value of 1, we must have ...

h = 4r

The height of the cone must be 4×2.5 cm = 10 cm to fit all of the ice cream.
