A cone has a diameter of 30 in. and a slant height of 17 in. What is the approximate volume of the cone?

1 answer:

7 0

We need to find the height of the cylinder
pythagorean theorem
15 is the bottom leg (30/2=15)
17 is hypotonuse
b=height
15^2+b^2=17^2
225+b^2=289
minus 225 both sides
b^2=64
sqrt both sides b=8

Vcone=(1/3)hpir^2
d/2=r=30/2=15
h=8
V=(1/3)8pi15^2
V=(1/3)8pi225
V=8pi75
V=600pi
aprox pi=3.14159256
V=1884.955536 in^3
round if nececary

7 out of 28 is what percent?

jeka57 [31]

Here's what I did and I checked it So it is correct!!

$\frac{7}{28} = \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

25% is your answer.

$28 \times 25\% = 7$

The length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 52 m^2. Find the dimensions of the

lys-0071 [83]

length is 8m

Width is 6.5m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let, width = b

So, length = 2b-5

area = 52 $m^{2}$

We know,

area of rectangle = length X width

So, $52m^{2}$ = $(2b-5) X b$

On solving the above equation, we get

Width, b = 6.5m

length, l = 8m

Eliminate the parameter. x = t2 + 2, y = t2 - 4

stepan [7]

$\bf \begin{cases}
x=t^2+2\implies x-2=t^2\implies \sqrt{x-2}=\boxed{t}\\\\
y=t^2-4\\
----------\\
y=\left( \boxed{\sqrt{x-2}} \right)^2-4\implies y=x-2-4\\\\
y=x-6
\end{cases}$

just a plain vanilla substitution
