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.

FE and FG does the same thing.

4. No G is on a line that has only one point on the plane and that point is F.

5, AC has an infinite number of points on the plane.

How to solve 2(x+7)=-4x+14
Temka [501]

Answer:

distribute the 2 on the left side to become 2(x+7)-->2x+14=-4x+14, add 4x to both sides to become 2x+14+4x=-4x+14+4x-->6x+14=14, subtract 14 from both sides 6x+14-14=14-14-->6x=0 and divide both sides of the equation by 6 to get x alone, 6x/6=0/6-->x=0 so x would equal 0.
