The next number is 38. The pattern is 7, 16, 8, 27, 9; if you look at the first 4 numbers, you notice that it counts to 7, 8, 9. Then you have 16 and 27, if the pattern continues; the next number is 38.
3n+2n+4=9n+12
5n+4=9n+12
4-12=9n-5n
-8=4n
Divide both sides by 4
n=-2
If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
Answer:
V = (1/3)πr²h
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is 1/3 the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height.
Cylinder Volume = πr²h
Cone Volume = (1/3)πr²h
where r is the radius (of the base), and h is the height perpendicular to the circular base.

<em>Comment on area and volume in general</em>
You will note the presence of the factor πr² in these formulas. This is the area of the circular base of the object. That is, the volume is the product of the area of the base and the height. In general terms, ...
V = Bh . . . . . for an object with congruent parallel "bases"
V = (1/3)Bh . . . . . for a pointed object with base area B.
This is the case for any cylinder or prism, even if the parallel bases are not aligned with each other. (That is, it works for oblique prisms, too.)
Note that the cone, a pointed version of a cylinder, has 1/3 the volume. This is true also of any pointed objects in which the horizontal dimensions are proportional to the vertical dimensions*. (That is, this formula (1/3Bh), works for any right- or oblique pyramid-like object.)
__
* in this discussion, we have assumed the base is in a horizontal plane, and the height is measured vertically from that plane. Of course, any orientation is possible.
