The radius of a cone-shaped tank is 4 feet less than its height. If the height of the tank is (x - 3) feet, the expression below shows the volume of the tank.

1 over 3π (x - 7)2 (x - 3)

What does the factor (x - 7)2 represent?

The square of the radius of the circular base of the tank

The square of the height of the tank

The area of the circular base of the tank

The area of the curved sides of the tank

"radius of a cone-shaped tank is 4 feet less than its height. If the height of the tank is (x - 3)"

so if the height of the tank is (x-3) and the radius is 4LESS THAN THAT, what's "r"?

jdoe0001 · Answer

radius = r btw

jdoe0001 · Answer

or I'd put it this way... the height  we know is (x-3)
then the radius will be 4 LESS THAN (x-3),   so   (x-3) - 4   =>  ?
