The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slang height?

Mathematics

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.

Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability of choosing a king and
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.0181 probability of choosing a king and then, without replacement, a face card.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Probability of choosing a king:

There are four kings on a standard deck of 52 cards, so:

P(A) = \frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}

Probability of choosing a face card, considering the previous card was a king.

12 face cards out of 51. So

P(B|A) = \frac{12}{51}

What is the probability of choosing a king and then, without replacement, a face card?

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B|A) = \frac{1}{13} \times \frac{12}{51} = \frac{1*12}{13*51} = 0.0181

0.0181 probability of choosing a king and then, without replacement, a face card.

At the post office, 42% of packages ship priority mail. If 150 packages are shipped today, how many will not go priority mail?
kenny6666 [7]

Since 42% of packages are being shipped via priority mail, we can safely assume the other 58% are not. 150 x 0.58 is 87.

The button on Sam's calculator that calculates the sine of an angle is broken.
Galina-37 [17]
Tan 18 = opposite side/adjacent side

0.3249 = 4/adjacent side

and adjacent side = 4/0.3249 = 12.31

Now let's apply Pythagoras to find x

4² + 12.31² = x²
16 + 151.55 = x²   and x² = 167.55 
Then x = √167.55 and x = 12.94 ≈ 13
