Question

a cone has a height of 4 ft and a volume of 7.77 Ft cubed determine its radius to the nearest tenth of a foot​

Answer 1

Answer:

The radius of the cone is approximately 1.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the cone are;

The height of the cone, h = 4 ft.

The volume of the cone, V = 7.77 ft.³

The volume, 'V', of a cone is given by the following formula;

V = 1/3 × π·r²·h

Where;

V = The volume of the cone = 7.77 ft.³

r = The radius of the cone

h = The height of the cone = 4 ft.

By substituting the vales of 'h' and 'V' in the above equation, we have;

7.77 ft.³ = 1/3 × π × r² × 4 ft.

∴ r = √(3 × 7.77 ft.³/(π × 4 ft.)) = 1.36196580784 ft.

∴ The radius of the cone, r ≈ 1.4 ft. (rounding the answer to the nearest 10th)
