Math problem

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-08 15:03

On the bottom of the conus are laying three spheres of the same size, everyone of them is in contact with the other two. Ontop of them there is a forth sphere of the same size. All of the spheres are in contact with the side of the conus. Find the distance from the tip of the topmost sphere to the bottom of the conus and the axial section's vertex. The radius of the sphere is r.

it's so nice having CAD for these things

a1: 3.73r, but that depends on
a2: yeah wtf IS a conus? a flat-topped cone? what the shit is your second question?

derek i told you already
provide the ring variables or we cant help you

Conus is a genus of marine snails.

If he means cone, the question is perfectly unambiguous as it is.

I've meant to solve this for some time, but kept putting it off.
Assumption: conus = cone

top of top sphere to floor = 2[1 + sqrt(2/3)]r
height of cone = [sqrt(3) + 1 + 2sqrt(2/3)]r
radius of cone = heigh of cone / sqrt(2)

>>5
You screwed up CAD or typo'd, cuz the number you want is 3.632993162...r

>>6
ring variables???
