Find the missing length of the triangle 20 cm 12 cm

Mathematics
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
3 0

The shape on the left is a square with side length of 12 cm

This means the height of the triangle is 12cm.

Knowing the height and the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean you can solve for the base.

20^2 = 12^2 + x^2

400 = 144 + x^2

Subtract 144 from both sides:

256 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides

X = sqrt(256)

X = 16

X = 16

The volume of a cone is 3.x cubic units and its height is x units.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Radius of the cone's base is 3x ....

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the volume of a cone is 3πx³

Height = x units.

The volume of a cone of radius r and height h units is given by:

V= 1/3 π r² *h

Simply plug the values given in the question into the above mentioned equation:

1/3πr²*x = 3*π*x³

1/3r²*x= 3x³

r² = 3*3*x³/x

r²=9x²

Taking square root at both sides we get:

√r² =√9x²

r = 3x

Thus the radius of the cone's base is 3x.

Maria just graduated from college and is interviewing for jobs. she calculates her monthly expenses which add up to $2165. Maria
julia-pushkina [17]

There is approximately \frac{13}{3} weeks in a month. So you divide 2165 by \frac{13}{3}, which equals out to approximately $499.62. Then you divide $499.62 by the 40 hours, which equals out to approximately $12.49 per hour of working.
