Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a large cone, 30 cm high, and a small cone of x height.

The scale factor of a volume of the cube of the scale factor of linear dimensions.

The cubic root of 1/27 is 1/3.

This means that the height of the small cone is 1/3 the height of the large cone.

The large cone has height 30 cm.

The small cone has height 10 cm.

30 cm - 10 cm = 20 cm

Answer: 20 cm

In triangle XYZ, an exterior angle to angle X had measure 100° and an exterior angle to angle Z has measure 120°. Which side of
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Side YZ is the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side is across from the largest angle.

Angle X must be 80° because its exterior angle is 100° and they're supplementary. Angle Z is 60° for the same reason. Inside a triangle is always 180°, and since the measures of angle Z and X add up to 140°, so there's 40° left, meaning angle X is the largest.

Angle X is across from size YZ, so that's the longest
