Answer 2

How would I do this?

Answer 3

\[V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\]

Answer 4

volume of a cone is 1/3pi*radius^2*height

Answer 5

Plug into that formula and solve for h which is x in your drawing.

Answer 6

So is 4 right?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

Darn, I'm not quite sure what I did wrong. How did you set yours up?

Answer 9

Show how you substituted into the formula.

Answer 10

One second.

Answer 11

12pi = 1/3 *pi * 3^2

Answer 12

I apologize. I used 6 for the radius. Your answer of 4 is correct.

Answer 13

Yay :)

Answer 14

Thanks!
