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

the center of a circle is on the line y=2x and the line x=1 is tangent to the circle at (1,6).find the center and the radius

Julli [10]

The radius and the center of the circle are 4 units and (1,2), respectively

<h3>How to determine the center and the radius?</h3>

The center of the circle is on

y = 2x and x = 1

Substitute x = 1 in y = 2x

y = 2 * 1

Evaluate

y = 2

This means that the center is

Center = (1, 2)

Also, we have the point of tangency to be:

(x, y) = (1, 6)

This point and the center have the same x-coordinate.

So, the distance between this point and the center is

d = 6 - 2

d = 4

This represents the radius

Hence, the radius and the center of the circle are 4 units and (1,2), respectively
