Answer:

8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a prism is:

S = 2A + Ph

where A is the area of the base, P is the perimeter of the base, and h is the height of the prism.

The base is a square, so A = s² and P = 4s:

S = 2s² + 4sh

Given that S = 512 and h = 12:

512 = 2s² + 4s(12)

512 = 2s² + 48s

256 = s² + 24s

0 = s² + 24s - 256

0 = (s + 32) (s - 8)

s = -32, s = 8

Since s must be positive, s = 8 inches.

A cone has a volume of 1,256 cubic centimeters. If the height of the cone is 12 centimeters, what is the radius of the base in c
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The radius 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The volume of the cone = 1/3 πr²h

∵ v = 1256 cm³

∵ h = 12 cm

∴ 1256 = 1/3 π (12) r²

∴ r² = 1256 × 3/12π = 100 cm

∴ r = √100 = 10 cm
