i have soo much patience, i'll just wait until someone nice answer my question

allank · Answer

Please clarify: The other lines you have given: are they multiple answer choices?

allank · Answer

Never mind. Height = Volume/Base area
Therefore: Height = $$10\sqrt{3}/5\sqrt{3}$$ 
Which simplifies into: 2

so the answer is B 2 inches?

allank · Answer

True. The question mainly tests your ability to work with radicals. Are you comfortable with the simplification?

anonymous · Answer

no am not or probably i forgot, can i ask you another question tho ?

allank · Answer

I have to go, but you should really read about the radicals. Check out tutorial.math.lamar.edu
