Answer:
h = 9 units of length
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a circular right cone is:
V(c) = (1/3)*Area of the circular base * h
Where h is the height of the cone, then
V(c) = (1/3) * π * r² * h
And we have that V(c) = 108*π
Then:
108 * π = (1/3) * π * r² * h (1)
We know diameter of the circular base is 12 units, according to that
r = d/2 ⇒ r = 12/2 r = 6 units
Then:
108 * π [ cubic units ] = (1/3) * π * (6)² * h [square units] [ units of length]
When simplifying we have to take into account that in order to keep last equation h needs to have units of length
Therefore:
108 = (1/3) * 36 * h
h = ( 108* 3 )/ 36
h = 9 units of length
