Greetings from Brasil...
Let's apply the given formula:
A = (1/2)·B·H
The base of this polygon (in this case, the triangle) is B
B = X² - 2X + 6
The height of this polygon is H and is H
H = X + 4
Applying these values (B and H) in the given formula.....
A = (1/2)·B·H
A = (1/2)·(X² - 2X + 6)·(X + 4)
A = (1/2)·(X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)
A = (X³/2) + X² - X + 12
OR
A = (X³ + 2X² - 2X + 24)/2
Answer:
The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is given by the following formula:
In which r is the radius and h is the height.
Two cones:
Both have the same height.
The sharing-size cone has 3 times the radius of the skinny-size cone.
Skinny:
radius r, height h. So
Sharing size:
radius 3r, height h. So
About how many times more popcorn does the sharing cone hold than the skinny cone?
The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.
