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.

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(−3, 3) , B(−1, 3) , and C(−1, −1) ?
Shtirlitz [24]
Hello Missjay12,

Step 1 :
From the coordinates we have to find the slopes and midpoints of the lines.

Step 2 :
Find the slope of the bisectors and now find the equations of two lines by using slope and one mid points.

Step 3 :
Solve any two pair of equations and find the intersection point.

Step 4 :
The point thus found is the circumcenter of the given triangle.


so<span> the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(−3, 3) , B(−1, 3) , and C(−1, −1)</span> is, -4, 0.

What is the probability of throwing a number greater than 4 when rolling a number cube that has sides labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
Leona [35]
What is probability rolling a number greater than 4?

The only numbers there are is 5 and 6.
That means that there are 2 outcomes out of 6 total outcomes.
That would be 2/6.
Divide the the top and bottom by 2.
In simplest form it would be 1/3.
2/6=1/3

The answer is 1/3. The probability of throwing a number greater than 4 is 1/3.
