Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 8x + 5

BC = 5x² - 16

5x² -  16 = 8x + 5

5x² - 8x - 21 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [8 ± √(8² – 4·5(-21))] / [2·5]

 = [8 ± √484] / 10

 = [8 ± 22] /10

 = -1.4, 3

-1.4 is an extraneous solution.

x = 3

AB = 8x+5 = 29

AC = 58

Answer:

180ft

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the formula, we do Pi (3) x the radius which is 6² then x by the height, so, we do 3 x 6² x 5. 6² is 36. 3 x 36 = 108. Next, we do 5 x 108. This gives us 540. Now, we have to divide by 3. This makes our answer 180ft.
