Just draw a triangle(front view) and the slant/inclined sides of it are known to be 8 and you found out radius as 3.26. so mark the diameter by doubling radius.
so the material required would be a slice(like pizza slice) of a circle of radius= 8 and arc length = circumference given ,that is 20.5
now using this find the area of sector/slice. its the answer to the last bit.
now coming to next question, go to the kitchen and take any can and measure its dia and height by using a scale. and you might already know the formula to find the suface area of cylinder.
The answer to your question is 8.1
I dont know exactly how to answer this but I know that the formula for volume is S+S+S+S=V. So hope that helps!
At the end of the directions, it talks about parallel, perpendicular, or neither. When x=y, the lines are perpendicular and have infinite solutions. When they are parallel, there is no solution. You'll get an answer like 4=5. Neither means there is only one answer, and you will get one x and one y.
