Crap. Work got cut off. :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got
(A) as my answer though.
Not sure IF it's wrong.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Incorrect. (A) is not the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
GOD DAMNIT. WHY? D:

No need to swear...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry bro.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The volume of a cone is given as:\[V=\frac{ \pi*r ^{2}*h }{ 3 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Everytime I do it I get some number that's not even an option for the problem. :/
But looks like im trying it again. xD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
v=pi * r^2 * 17
----------------
3 How do i get the radius? I think that's where im messing it up.

Very good so far. The problem states that base areas are equal for the two shapes, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9 ft.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok well the base of the cone is a circle with area = pi*r^2.
So we again need the radius which we cannot get from the picture.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9 ft is not the radius.

We can however find the base area of the pyramid as is it a triangle and does not require a radius.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, then what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The base is 8 ft.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Did you calculate the base area?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8 ft right?

No. 8 ft is not area. It is length...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nvm, Bro i got 93.46 as my answer. So it HAS to be it. Thanks ! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The base of the pyramid is a triangle with are = b*h/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
THANKS AGAIN BRO! I found my mistake!
