7 ft; Use the volume formula

Answer 1

12 ft; Use the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 2

are you sure

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let me recalculate.

The slant height of a cone can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Slant height = √(radius^2 + height^2)
Slant height = √(8^2 + 9^2)
Slant height = √(64 + 81)
Slant height = √145
Slant height ≈ 12 ft

So, the correct answer is: 12 ft; Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
