A cone of radius 10 cm and height 16 cm is divided into two parts by a plane through the midpoint of its axis parallel to its base. Find the ratio of the volumes of the two parts?

The ratio of their volumes (the top to bottom half) is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The radius, r, of the cone = 10 cm

The height of the cone = 16 cm

The point at which the cone is divided = The midpoint of the its axis and parallel to its base

The ratio of the of the volume of the two parts is given as follows;

The volume, V of the entire cone = 1/3 × Base area (π·r²) × Height, h

Therefore;

V = 1/3 × π × 10² × 16 =1600·π/3 =  1675.52 cm³

The height at which the cone is divided = 16/2 = 8 cm

The height, h₁ of the uppermost divided cone = 8 cm

The ratio of the radius to the height of the cone = 10/16 = 5/8

The radius r₁, of the uppermost divided cone = The height of the uppermost divided cone × The ratio of the radius to the height of the cone

∴ r₁ = 8 × 5/8 = 5 cm

The volume, V₁, of the uppermost divided cone = 1/3 × (π·r₁²) × h₁

∴ V₁ = 1/3 × π × 5² × 8 = 200·π/3 = 209.44 cm³

Which gives;

The volume of the lower cone, V₂ =  V - V₁

V₂ =  1675.52 cm³ - 209.44 cm³ = 1400·π/3 = 1466.1 cm³

The ratio of their volumes V₁ : V₂ = V₁/V₂ = (200·π/3)/(1400·π/3) = 209.44/1466.1 = 1/7.

can someone answer this question plz

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
