The volume of a cone is 251.2 cubic inches. The height of the cone is 15 inches. What is the radius of the cone, rounded to the nearest inch? Use pi = 3.14. 16 inches 8 inches 6 inches 4 inches

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Do you know what is the formula for finding volume of cone ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

nope

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Okay, not a problem let me explain it to you . :)

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

The volume of cone is given by the formula. V = 1 / 3 * pi * r ^2 * h

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Is that clear to you @Spring98 ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

yes but i don't know how to get the answer

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Here V is given as 251.2 cubic inches. and can you tell me , what is the value of h given ?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Here V = Volume , r = radius , h = height .

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Are you working on it ? @Spring98

OpenStudy (spring98):

yes

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

h = ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

I got 6 in am I right?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Do you need any help in finding " h " ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

^ ^ ^

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Can you please recheck your answer ?

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

I will help you out . h = ?

OpenStudy (spring98):

i really don't know

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

Please read the question .

OpenStudy (cggurumanjunath):

The value of "h " is given in the question .
