Answer:


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

Explanation:

The volume of cone is given by:


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

where
r is the radius of the base and
h is the height of the cone.

We need to solve for
r

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

Multiplying both sides by 3 to remove
(1)/(3)


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


3V=\pi\ r^2\ h

dividing both sides by
\pi\ h


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


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

Taking square root both sides:


\sqrt{(3V)/(\pi\ h)}=√(r^2)


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


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