Question

The volume of a cone is 763.02 cubic inches. The radius and height of the cone are equal. What is the radius of the cone?

Answer 1

Answer:

The radius of the cone is 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone

The volume of a cone is expressed as

V=1/3(πr²h)

We were told that the radius r and the height h are equal

I.e r=h

Substituting h=r in the formula we have

V= 1/3(πr²*r)

V =1/3(πr³)

To find the radius r let us substitute our given 763.02cm³ (note we assume unit in cm)

763.02= 1/3(3.142r³)

763.02= (3.142r³)/3

763.02*3=3.142r³

2289.06=3.142r³

r³=2289.06/3.142

r³= 728.54

r= ³√728.54

r= 8.99cm

≈r= 9cm

hope this helps
