Part B: First rewrite the equation by writing -24 as a difference so you get x² -9x - 15x + 135 = 0. Then factor out the x and the -15 from the equation so you get x(x-9) - 15(x-9) = 0. Then factor out x-9 from the equation so you have (x-9)(x-15) = 0. Finally, set each expression to 0: x-9=0 and x-15=0 and then solve: x=9 and x=15
Am I to assume this is for volume? The volume formula for a cylinder...oblique or not...is V = 1/3pi r^2 h. Cavalieri's principle tells us that the formulas for both are the same. So V = 1/3*pi*100*11 and V = 366.67 pi
