Answer: 84.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be represented by x.

First and foremost, we have to know that the cosine of 18° = 0.9511.

The equation to get the height will then be:

0.9511 = 80/x

Cross multiply

(0.9511 × x) = 80

0.9511x = 80

Divide both side by 0.9511

0.9511x/0.9511 = 80/0.9511

x = 84.1

The height of the flagpole is 84.1m

A paper cup shaped like a cone has a diameter of 6 centimeters and a slant height of 7.5 centimeters. About how much paper is ne
liq [111]

Answer:

22.5 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paper is going to be measured in area, so we want the surface area of the cone.  Since it is a cub it doesn't have a base, so we don't need to count it.  

Area of the cone without the base, or what is called the lateral area is pi*r*s where r is the radius and s is the slant height.  and of course radius is d/2 where d is the diameter.  so let's plug it in.  We know diameter is 6 and slant height is 7.5

SA = pi * r * s

SA = pi * d/2 * s

SA = pi * 6/2 * 7.5

SA = 22.5 cm^2

So you will need 22.5 square centimeters of paper.
