This is my work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you working on volume and surface area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume only i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my scratch work in the bottom left is me finding r2 using similar triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay here is a little cheat sheet my teacher gave me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prism: SA = (perimeter of base x height) + (Area of base) L+L+W+WxH 2xLxW Volume = LxWxH Volume of a Pyramid = Do the same thing you did for the volume of a prism only x 1/3 or divide by 3. Cylinder = SA = (2 x 3.14 x R x H) + (2 x 3.14 x R x R) Volume = 3.14x R*2xH Volume of a Cone = (Volume of a cylinder) x 1/3 or divide by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, but i know the volume of a cone is 1/3*pi(r^2)h already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have a problem with a question? Or do you need it checked?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could u tell me how to find dr/dt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the question wrong 16 times, so yes and yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am a idiot, sorry. My brain isnt working today. Okay can you type 16. in. And I can take a look at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't need help on question 16.. i need help on the one i posted... I've gotten it wrong 16 times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. Take a look at this to see if it might help, while I try to figure it out. http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/67062.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is not what i need..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. I haven't really gotten stuff like this in school yet, so I might take me a few to help.

First draw the cone with height 9 and radius 5.5/2 = 2.75 |dw:1400026621004:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Take a cross section of this cone to get this triangle |dw:1400026815685:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Now imagine that the cross section is only filled up 5 units along the height Draw this in and label the smaller unknown radius r |dw:1400026856589:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second height = 5 second radius = 14.25/9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

When the height is h = 5, the radius is r (for now) So we could label the drawing like this |dw:1400026950387:dw|
