The volume of a cone is 200.96 cubic yards. What is the radius of the cone if the height is 12 yd? Use pi =3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

If I'm doing the problem correctly, the radius should be 4 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

You work the problem backwards. Multiply 200.96 by 3, since it's a cone, so you're working with the volume of what a cylinder would be with the same dimensions. Then divide by the height (12 yd), then divide by pi. You should end up with 16, and 4 squared equals 16. Work the problem forwards from there to check.

4 squared is 16. 16 times 3.14 is 50.24. 50.24 times 12 is 602.88. 602.88 divided by 3 is 200.96.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
