The diagram shows a side view of a box which is used to store small logs of
wood for burning in a fire place. The slopping lid has an overhand of 15cm.
a) Calculate the total length of the slopping lid to the nearest cm.
b) When the lid is open above ground will the end of the lid be?
From Bill: Hi, I have a round tank with tapered sides where I know the diameter at the top and bottom. Is there a formula I can use to calculate the volume by measuring from the bottom up the side (at the angle of the side) to any given point? Thanks, Bill Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.
From Tamriko: Hi! Help me, please to solve the following problem: The diameter of an ice-cream cone is 6 cm and the slant height is 10 cm. What volume of ice-cream would fit inside the cone? Thanks! Answered by Penny.
From Carla: A symmetrical pyramid stands on a square base of side 8cm. The slant height of
the pyramidis 20cm. Find the angle between the slant edge and the base, and the angle between
a slant face and the base. Answered by Penny Nom.
From Carla: A pyramid has its vertex directly above the centre of its square base. The edges of the base
are each 8cm, and the vertical height is 10cm. Find the angle between the slant face and the base,
and the angle between the slant edge and the base. Answered by Janice Cotcher.
From Braden: i need to find the surface area but i only have the slant height and the height i need the radius how do i find it? Answered by Penny Nom.
From Zainab: The question is: If the vertical height if a triangle is half the width of the base and the slant length is 6 metres, find the exact vertical height of this part of the roof. I'm actually confused about finding out the height of an equilateral triangle if you're only given the length or slant height. Please help! O.o Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
From Jocelyn Wozney: I need help with this problem for my high school calculus class. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated-I am pretty stumped. "Express the volume of a cone in terms of the slant height 'e' and the semi-vertical angle 'x' and find the value of 'x' for which the volume is a maximum if 'e' is constant.
