Please help? The volume of a cone is 300 cubic kilometers. If the radius of the base is 7 kilometers, what is the height of the cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Show your work and round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simply plug the information you were given into the volume formula for a cone: V=(1/3)(pi)(r^2)(h)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont get it though :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

300=(1/3)(3.14)(7^2)(h)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug the values that you're given in the problem into the formula for Volume of a Cone: \[300={1\over3}(3.14)(7)^{2}h\] Solve for h.
