Answer:

If r >> h, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi\cdot s

Where:

r - Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.

s - Slant height, measured in inches.

In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

s = \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}

Where h is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If r >> h, then:

s \approx r

And:

A = \pi\cdot r^{2} +2\pi\cdot r

Given that A = 1885.7143\,in^{2}, the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

\pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi \cdot r -1885.7143\,in^{2}  = 0

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:

r_{1,2} = \frac{-2\pi \pm \sqrt{4\pi^{2}-4\pi\cdot (-1885.7143)}}{2\pi}

r_{1,2} \approx -1\,in \pm 24.521\,in

r_{1} \approx 23.521\,in \,\wedge\,r_{2}\approx -25.521\,in

As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot find two whole number integers that give a sum of -12 and a product of 6.

-1 + -11 = -12, but (-1)(-11) = 11, which isn't 6

-2 + -10 = -12, but (-2)(-10) = 20, which isn't 6

...and so on...
