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.

In a class of 40 students, the number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys. We have to find the number of girls and the n
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

b=15 g=25

Step-by-step explanation:

lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations

the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =

g=b+10

then in class there are 40 students that means

g+b=40

now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute

(b+10)+b=40

lets remove the brackets

2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides

2b=30 now divide both by 2

b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number

Graph those points given, in a cartesian plane grid,
that is, an x,y axis grid

and try to make a straight line from the leftmost, to
the rightmost, they don't really line up as a straight
line, so... try to draw a line that will cover "most of
the points", there will be a couple or so "outliers",
the line that "covers most of the points" is so-called
"best-fit" line, so, using  that line, try to get what
"y" is, when x = 3
