The radius of the base of a right circular cone is 6 and the radius of a parallel cross section is 4. if the distance between the base and the cross section is 8, what is the height of the cone?
a. 11
b. 13 1/3
c. 16
d. 20
e. 24

2,600 divided by 80 = 32.5

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)
