let's recall Cavalieri's Principle, <u>solids with equal altitudes and cross-sectional areas at each height have the same volume</u>, so even though this cylinder is slanted with a height = x and a radius = 8, the cross-sectional areas from the bottom to top are the same thickness and thus the same area, so its volume will be the same as a cylinder with the same height and radius that is not slanted.
The radius of a circle is 15 inches. A chord is drawn 4 inches from the center of the circle. How long is the chord?

Answer:
102.1 ft
Explanation:
We can represent the situation as follows:
So, we need to find the value of H. Therefore, H is equal to:
H = 169.4 ft - 67.3 ft
H = 102.1 ft
So, the top of the monument is 102.1 ft above sea level.
