-_-

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

wiat like 10 min. okay? I'm doing something that is timed... I'm almost out of time

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

wait*

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

is someone going to help me?

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

im just gonna fail

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Hmmm... do you know where to begin in solving it?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

What you need to do, is find the area of both of the cones and add them together.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Do you know the formula for the area of a cone?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

oops, I mean volume

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

\[V=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\Pi r ^{2}h\]

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

ok but you have to replace pi with 3.14

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

okay, then do that.

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

sorry i'm too lazy to do this myself

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

BRB HAVE TO PEE LIKE CRAZY CURSE MY OVERACTIVE BLADDER

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Just work it out, and I'll tell you if you're right. and okay haha XD But, I'll work it out with you

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

Back

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Okay. I already worked it out.... find the volume of the 1st cone and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

Working on it... 410.29

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Okay.. good. now find the volume of the second one

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

83.7333 (3 is finite)

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

bloom you there?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

that's correct. now just add them together to find out how much was bought all together.

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

wait it says they bought some of the pile and their a remainder so i subtract

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

326.55667 rounded to 326.56

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

No, the question asked how much they purchased... so you'd add.

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

"Garden Landscaping Company purchases some of the gravel. The remaining pile has a radius of 4 ft and a height of 5 ft."

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Oh, wait. You're probably correct. Is the remaining pile what they didn't purchase? if that's the case, you only need the first cone...

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

keywords: some, remaining

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

not trying to be smart

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

so plz dont be mad

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

ok then my answers are going so slow

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Okay.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

I'm not. Mistakes happen.

OpenStudy (cheesecakekitten):

so glitchy, thnx for helping

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
