Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cone = 
Since we are given that a circular cone has a base of radius r and a height of h that is the same length as the radius
=
=
Surface area of cone including 1 base = 
Since r = h
So, area = 
=
= 
Ratio of volume of cone to its surface area including base :



Rationalizing


Hence the ratio the ratio of the volume of the candle to its surface area(including the base) is 
The easy way to think about this is what number comes between 5 and 7? The answer is 6 (but we have to consider that it's negative in this case.) So the answer is -6 Another way to look at it is with a number line (not to "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? scale.)<===(-7)==(-6)==(-5)==(-3)==(-2)==(-1)==(0)==(1)==>Notice how -6 comes between the two numbers. -6 is larger than -7 (it's "less negative" -- "Which number is greater than -7 and less than -5"? closer to zero) -6 is less than -5 (it's "more negative" -- further away from zero)
Since 6 is positive, it's (x+blank)^2
6/2=3, and (x+3)^2 = x^2+6x+9. We have x^2+6x-2, so we have to add 9 to both sides to get (x+3)^2-2=9, then subtract 9 from both sides to get
(x+3)^2-11=0, or (x+3)^2=11. Square root both sides to get x+3=sqrt(11), and x=sqrt(11)-3, which is approximately 0.32
The answer is would have to be b.
To find the area you multiply the length by the width.
W = the width, and you are told the length is 5 meters longer, so the length would be (W +5)
Now multiply those together to equal 20,000 square meters:
w(w+5) = 20,000
