Answer:

1.03 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a come = 1/3πr²h

If the height of a right cone is 3 inches shorter than the radius, then;

h = r - 3

Substitute

V = 1/3πr²(r-3)

Given that V = 17in^3

17 = 1/3πr²(r-3)

17*3 = 3.14r²(r-3)

51/3.14 = r²(r-3)

16.242 = r²(r-3)

r² = 16.242

r = √16.242

r = 4.03

Since h = r - 3

h = 4.03 - 3

h = 1.03 inches

hence the height is 1.03 inches

What can those engaged in politics from both parties learn about the Constitution from the debate over the Bill of Rights?

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The Federalists wanted a strong government and strong executive branch, while the anti-Federalists wanted a weaker central government. The Federalists did not want a bill of rights —they thought the new constitution was sufficient. The anti-federalists demanded a bill of rights.

Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.
