Question

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= π (x - 7)2 (x - 3)
_
3

What does the factor π(x - 7)2 (x - 3) represent? (4 points)

Question 6 options:
1) The area of the base of the tank
2) The area of the curved sides of the tank
3) The volume of 3 of the same cone-shaped tanks
4) The volume of 6 of the same cone-shaped tanks

Answer 1

Volume of a cone: \(\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\)

Match up the given factors to those in the formula.
