Answer:

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong equation was used.

The right equation to use based on the midsegment theorem of a trapezoid is:

MN = ½(AB + DC)

MN = 8

AB = 14

Substitute

8 = ½(14 + DC)

Multiply both sides by 2

8*2 = ½(14 + DC)*2

2*8 = 14 + DC

16 = 14 + DC

16 - 14 = 14 + DC - 14

2 = DC

DC = 2

An ice cream cone has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 7 inches. What number can be used to complete the volume

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The volume of ice cream cone is 66 cubic inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of ice cream cone is 6 inches

Height of the cone is 7 inches

The volume of a cone shaped object is given by :

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

Substituting all the values in above formula as:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 3^2\times 7\\\\V=66\ \text{inches}^3$

So, the volume of ice cream cone is 66 cubic inch.

Nadusha1986 [10]

If n is an even integer:
n(n + 2) = 48
n^2 + 2n - 48 = 0
(n + 8)(n - 6) = 0
n = -8 or n = 6
