Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-15=17-x
3x-x=17-15
2x=2
x=1
The equation for the volume of a cone is:

where V = volume of the cone, r = radius of the circular base, and h = height of the cone.
You are told that the height, h = 25.5 cm. You are also told that the diameter is <span>12 centimeters. Remember that the diameter of a circle is just twice the radius. Divide 12 by 2 to get the radius: r =12/2 = 6 cm.
Since you know </span>h = 25.5 cm and r = 6 cm, plug these values into your equation for volume of a cone and solve for V, volume:

------
Answer: B) <span>
961.33 cm³ </span>
According to the secant-tangent theorem, we have the following expression:

Now, we solve for <em>x</em>.

Then, we use the quadratic formula:
![x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x_%7B1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-b%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%5E2-4ac%7D%7D%7B2a%7D)
Where a = 1, b = 6, and c = -315.
![\begin{gathered} x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-315)}}{2\cdot1} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{36+1260}}{2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt[]{1296}}{2} \\ x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm36}{2} \\ x_1=\frac{-6+36}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15 \\ x_2=\frac{-6-36}{2}=\frac{-42}{2}=-21 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20x_%7B1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B6%5E2-4%5Ccdot1%5Ccdot%28-315%29%7D%7D%7B2%5Ccdot1%7D%20%5C%5C%20x_%7B1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%2B1260%7D%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1296%7D%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20x_%7B1%2C2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%5Cpm36%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20x_1%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6%2B36%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B30%7D%7B2%7D%3D15%20%5C%5C%20x_2%3D%5Cfrac%7B-6-36%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-42%7D%7B2%7D%3D-21%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
<h2>Hence, the answer is 15 because lengths can't be negative.</h2>
You need two sides so you can rewrite it as:
2x = 70-(14+32)
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12
The height is 12in.
Hope this helps! :)
