Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:

Answer:
A. 1206 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a cone and are asked to find the approximate volume of it.
Keep in mind we are using π for 3.14
The forumla of a cone is V = πr²
We know the radius = 12
and the height = 8
Substitute :
V = π12²
Since these are multiplied with each other, we can first start off with multiplying the fraction, including with factoring 12²:
V = 
Cancel the common factor - 3 :
V = 
Multiply 8 and 3π :
V = 
Solve the exponent :
V = 
Multiply :
V = 
Multiply for the final answer :
1205.76 cm³
which can be rounded up to
A. 1206 cm³
