An Indian tepee is a conical tent. Find the number of cubic feet of air in a teepee 10 ft. in diameter and 12 ft. high.

1 answer:

5 0

Surface Area of a cone is

pi * r * s + pi * r^2 

s is the side length, since you have 10 ft diameter, you know radius is 5. And since height is 12. With this, you have a 5-12-13 triangle, and s=13. 

so 

pi * 5 * 14 + pi * 5^2 = 95 pi or 298.3 

divide 298.3 by 15 and you get 19.88, you round up, so 20 is the answer

The garden's width is 45. We know this because
$35 \times 2$
(length)
$35 \times 2 + 2x = 160 \\$
35x2 is 70 and you need to neutralize that by taking away 70 from both sides.
$160 - 70 = 90$
$2x = 90$
Now divide by 2 on both sides to neutralize the 2 times x.
$90 \div 2 = 45$
meaning that leaves us with
$x = 45$
