Answer:

6.41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is y=ax^2

y=15

x=16.5

15=a(16.5)^2

a=0.055

So, to get depth at 4 ft from edge, I assume my new x value is 12.5.

Derived from 16.5 - 4 = 12.5

So:

y= 0.055 * (12.5)^2

y = 8.59

To get depth, I assume subtract from center depth of 15ft.

15ft - 8.59ft = 6.41ft

Answer is 6.41ft.

The surface area of a right cone is 400.2 m2. The radius of the cone is 6.0 m. Determine the height of the cone to the nearest m
svetoff [14.1K]
                 S = πr(r + √(h² + r²))
          400.2 = 3.14(6)(6 + √(h² + 6²))
          400.2 = 18.84(6 + √(h² + 36))
          18.84                 18.84
        21¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = 6 + √(h² + 36))
        - 6         - 6
        15¹⁰⁹/₄₇₁ = √(h² + 36)
231²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h² + 36
- 36                       - 36
195²²¹⁰⁰⁵/₂₂₁₈₄₁ = h²
                14 ≈ h

The probability would be 0.1971.

We will calculate a z-score for each end of this interval.

z = (X-μ)/σ

For the lower limit:
z = (1100-1050)/218 = 50/218 = 0.23

For the upper limit:
z = (1225-1050)/218 = 175/218 = 0.80

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area under the curve to the left of, less than, the lower limit is 0.5910.  The area under the curve to the left of, less than, the upper limit is 0.7881.  To find the area between them, we subtract:

0.7881 - 0.5910 = 0.1971
