Question

"Find the diameter of a cone that has a volume of 83.74 cubic inches and a height of 5 inches. Use 3.14 for pi."

Answer 1

The volume of a cone is calculated by multiplying the area of the base and the height divided by 3. It is expressed as follows:

V = πr²(h/3)

We calculate as follows:

83.74 = πr²(5/3)
r = 4.00 in
D = 2r = 2 x 4.00 = 8.00 inches
