The radius of cone is 2 inches
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>The volume of cone is given by formula:</u></em>
Where,
"V" is the volume of cone
"r" and "h" are the radius and height of cone respectively
Given that, volume of a cone is 16 pi cubic inches
Its height is 12 inches
Therefore, we get,
V = cubic inches
h = 12 inches
r = ?
<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>
Since, radius cannot be negative, ignore r = -2
Thus radius of cone is 2 inches
