Answer:
Given: Diameter of cone = 38 feet and height of cone = 14 feet.
Volume of cone V with radius r is one-third the area of the base B times the height h.
i,e =
......[1]
,where B =
First find the radius(r);
Using Diameter(D) = 2r
38 =2r
Divide both side by 2 we get;
Simplify:
19 = r
or r =19 feet
Now, substitute the value of r = 19 feet and h = 14 feet in [1] [ Use value of ]
then, we have:
or
V =
or
V = ≈ 5,294.67 cubic feet.
therefore, the volume of pile is; ≈ 5,294.67 cubic feet.
You can find counterexamples to disprove this claim. We have positive integers that are perfect square numbers; when we take the square root of those numbers, we get an integer.
For example, the square root of 1 is 1, which is an integer. So if y = 1, then the denominator becomes an integer and thus we get a quotient of two integers (since x is also defined to be an integer), the definition of a rational number.
Example: x = 2, y = 1 ends up with which is rational. This goes against the claim that
is always irrational for positive integers x and y.
Any integer y that is a perfect square will work to disprove this claim, e.g. y = 1, y = 4, y= 9, y = 16. So it is not always irrational.
