@ivettef365 What is the height of a cone with a radius of 3 inches and of volume 4 cubic inches? Round your answer to the tenths place. 0.1 inch 0.3 inch 0.4 inch 0.8 inch

OpenStudy (latinc):

I believe the formula for a cone is pi/3*h*r^2

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@ivettef365

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

V = pi . r^2 . h/3

OpenStudy (latinc):

solve this 9pi*h/3 = 4^3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

just substitute the information that you have an solve V= 4 / r = 3 4 = 3.14 x 3^2 x h

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i solve 4 = 3.14 x 3^2 x h ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you need to solve for h

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

h=0.14154281

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

@ivettef365

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

wait forget the h/3 4 = 3.14 x 3^2 x h/3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

4 = 3.14 x 9 x h/3 4 = 3.14 x 3 x h take it from there

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i solve 4 = 3.14 x 3 x h ?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i get the same answer..

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

impossible

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you multiply 3.14 x 3 the you divide 4 / your answer

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

2.355

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

3.14 x 3 = 9.42 then divide 4 / 9.42

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

i get 0.42462845

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok then...?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

so my answer is 0.4?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

next! @ivettef365

pythagoream theorem

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you have the value of one leg and the hypothenuse
