<h2>Height of smaller cone is 14.29</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\texttt{Volume of cone, V = }\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

For the first cone

Height, h = 18

Radius, r = 12

Substituting

$\texttt{Volume of cone, V = }\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\\texttt{Volume of cone, V = }\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times 12^2\times 18=2714.34$

Volume of new cone formed is half of the older cone.

Volume of new cone = 0.5 x 2714.34 = 1357.17

For the cone as the height reduces to 18 radius reduces to zero.

$tan\theta =\frac{12}{18}\\\\\theta =33.7^0$

$\texttt{Volume of new cone = }\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^2h_1\\\\tan\theta =\frac{r_1}{h_1}\Rightarrow r_1=h_1tan\theta\Rightarrow r_1=h_1tan33.7=0.667h_1\\\\\texttt{Volume of new cone = }\frac{1}{3}\pi \times (0.667h_1)^2h_1=0.467h_1^3$

We have

0.467h₁³ = 1357.17

h₁ = 14.29

Height of smaller cone = 14.29

Mr. Barth is painting an arrow on the school parking lot. He draws the edges between the following points on the coordinate plan

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

<u>70 square units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I have plotted the points on the coordinate system and connected roughly using a red line. Image is attached. </em>

The arrow created, consists of a TRIANGLE and a RECTANGLE. The area of the arrow would be:

Area of Arrow = Area of Triangle + Area of Rectangle

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * base * height

Base is 12 units

Height is 7 units, so

Area of Triangle = 0.5 * 12 * 7 = 42

Now,

Area of Rectangle = length * height

Length is 7

Height is 4

Area of Rectangle = 7 * 4 = 28

<u>Area of Arrow = 42 + 28 = 70 square units</u>

If a(x) = 3x + 1 and b (x) = StartRoot x minus 4 EndRoot, what is the domain of (b circle a) (x)?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$[1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

$a(x)=3x+1$

Since we want to know the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ , let's first consider the domain of the inside function, that is, that of $a(x)=3x+1$ . Every polynomial function has domain all real numbers.

So we can plug anything for function $a$ and get a number back.

Now the other function is going to be worrisome because it has a square root. You cannot take square root of negative numbers if you are only considering real numbers which that is the case with most texts.

Let's find $(b \circ a)(x)$ and simplify now.

$(b \circ a)(x)$

$b(a(x))$

$b(3x+1)$

$\sqrt{(3x+1)-4}$

$\sqrt{3x+1-4}$

$\sqrt{3x-3}$

Now again we can only square root positive or zero numbers so we want $3x-3 \ge 0$ .

Let's solve this to find the domain of $(b \circ a)(x)$ .

$3x-3 \ge 0$

Add 3 on both sides:

$3x \ge 3$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x \ge 1$

So we want $x$ to be a number greater than or equal to 1.

The option that says this is $[1,\infty)$

-------------------------------

Give an example why option A fails:

A number in the given set is -2.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(-2)=3(-2)+1=-6+1=-5$ and $b(-5)=\sqrt{-5-4}=\sqrt{-9} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option B fails:

A number in the given set is 0.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(0)=3(0)+1=0+1=1$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{1-4}=\sqrt{-3} \text{ which is not real}$ .

Give an example why option D fails:

While all the numbers in set D work, there are more numbers outside that range of numbers that also work.

A number not in the given set that works is 3.

$a(x)=3x+1$

$b(x)=\sqrt{x-4}$

So $a(3)=3(3)+1=9+1=10$ and $b(1)=\sqrt{10-4}=\sqrt{6} \text{ which is real}$ .

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 82 inches. The triangle is rotated about a line that passes through points B and D.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

A cone with base radius of 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangle ABC

Where

AB = BC = 24in

D = Midpoint of AC

Required

Which best describes the resulting three-dimensional figure?

First, the length of the third side of the triangle has to be calculated

The sides of triangle ABC are AB, AC and BC

Given that the perimeter = 82 in

AB + AC + BC = 82

Recall that AB = BC = 24in; The equation becomes

$24 + AC + 24 = 82$

Collect like terms

$AC = 82 - 24 - 24\\AC = 34$

Given that, the triangle is rotated at D, the midpoint of AC

The length of the midpoint has to be calculated

$D = \frac{1}{2}AC$

$D = \frac{1}{2} * 34$

$D = \frac{34}{2}$

$D = 17$

At this point, we can dismiss options C and D.

This is because; a triangular pyramid is formed by more than 1 triangles (at least 3 triangle) and in this case, we're dealing with only 1 triangle.

So, we have option A and B to select from.

When the triangle is rotated at point D, it generates a cone such that the radius of the cone is the distance at point D.

This implies that, a cone with base radius D is generated.

Recall that D = 17.

Hence, <em>A cone with base radius of 17 in</em>

5/8 of the staff are male 5/12 of the staff works part time at the aquarium what is the fraction of the staff being female

Goryan [66]

I believe the answer is 3/8. The whole portion of employees, which is translated as 8/8 is deducted by 5/8, which is the population of male employees.
