Answer:

The height of the cone is
17\ in

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to


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

In this problem we have


r=12/2=6\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter


V=640.88\ in^(3)

assume
\pi=3.14

substitute the values and solve for h


640.88=(1)/(3)(3.14)(6)^(2)h


h=640.88*3/((3.14)(36))=17\ in
