Answer:  The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two​ logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32  and  common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

a_n=a+(n-10)d.

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

636.4 in³  

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is given by:

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

where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is its height.

It is given that, the radius of the base of the cone is, r = 8 in

The height of the cone is, h = 9.5

\Rightarrow V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (8)^2 (9.5) = 636.4 in^3

Thus, the volume of the cone is 636.4 in³
