If a menorah is 20 cubits high, and 1 cubit=18 inches, then simply multiply 20 by 18. 18*20=360 inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 360/12=30. So, according to the code of Jewish law, a menorah can be 30 feet high.

Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question.

  • 1 cubit = 18 inches
  • 20 cubits = x
  • 1/20 = 18/x       Cross multiply
  • x = 20 * 18
  • x = 360 inches.

The maximum height is 360 inches.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • x feet = 360 inches   Cross multiply
  • 12x = 360 * 1
  • 12x/12 = 360/12
  • x = 30

The maximum height reached was 30 feet.

A cylinder has a radius of 3 feet and a height of 7 feet. Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of a cone t
kramer

Answer:

(3.14)(3)(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h

we have that the radius and the height of the cone will be equal to the radius and the height of the cylinder

so

r=3\ ft

h=7\ ft

\pi =3.14

substitute the given values

V=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(3)^{2} (7)

V=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(9)(7)

Simplify

V=(3.14)(3)(7)
