Question

Find the missing dimension of the cone. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Volume = 3.6 in.³ An ice cream cone is shown. Its height is 4.2 inches and the radius of its base is r.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.905 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters given:

Volume of cone, V = 3.6 in³

Height of cone, h = 4.2 in

Although the diagram is not shown, this problem can be solved.

The volume of a cone is given as:

V = ⅓ * π * r² * h

r is the radius of the base of the cone

We can find r.

3.6 = ⅓ * π * r² * 4.2

3.6 = 4.399 * r²

=> r² = 3.6 / 4.399

r² = 0.8184

=> r = 0.905 in

The radius of the base of the cone is 0.905 in.
