An open-topped conical birthday hat is to have volume 55 cm3.
\n" ); document.write( " Determine the minimum possible amount of material used in making this pot?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The vol of a cone
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"1%2F3\"\"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\"\"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\" = 55
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the fraction mult by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\" = 165
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"165%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the cone material
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"pi%2Ar%2Asqrt%28r%5E2%2Bh%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "replace h with \"165%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Graphically, radius on the horizontal, area on the vertical
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Minimum material used when r = 1.4 cm, it then uses 11 sq/cm of material
\n" ); document.write( "\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"
\n" ); document.write( "you can check this, find the height (h) using r=1.4, then calculate volume
