Answer:


r=\sqrt{(3V)/(\pi h)}

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is given by :


V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2 h

Where

r is radius of cone and h is its height

We need to solve the above formula for r.

Cross multiplying both sides of the given formula


3V=\pi r^ 2h

Dividing both sides by πh.


(3V)/(\pi h)=(\pi r^2 h)/(\pi h)\\\\r^2=(3V)/(\pi h)\\\\r=\sqrt{(3V)/(\pi h)}

So, the formula for r is
\sqrt{(3V)/(\pi h)}
