A cylindrical vent 15 in in diameter must be cut at an angle to fit on a gable roof with a $\frac{3}{5}$ pitch. This means that for the vent itself the ratio of rise to run will be $3 : 5$ . Find the height $x$ of the cut that must be made on the cylinder to make it fit the slope of the roof. (See the figure.) The height $x$ of the cut that must be made on the cylinder to make it fit the slope of the roof is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
