Question

If a cone has a volume of 60Pi what is the radius and height?

Answer 1

the volume of a cone is
V = 1/3 h * pi * r^2

Answer 2

i know that. i tried plugging the choices it gave me but i couldnt get anything im running out of time

Answer 3

so you can substitute 60pi for volume

Answer 4

60 pi = 1/3 * h * pi * r^2

you can divide both sides by pi and multiply both sides by 3

Answer 5

which gives you
180 = h* r^2

an equation in two unknowns

Answer 6

The best that you can do is express the height in terms of the radius and vice versa.

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

does it say that radius = height ?

Answer 9

You can convince your instructor that you understand the problem by telling him or her that there exist infinitely-many different cones that can attain a fixed, non-trivial volume.

Answer 10

nevermind. i got it. i was confusing my self

Answer 11

thanks guys
