Volume of cone is given by formula


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

We are already given r =2, so we need to find h and then we can find volume

So missing meausre is height here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To find h we will use lateral area =
12\pi given

Formula for lateral area of cone is
\pi r\sqrt{r^(2)+ h^(2)}

so we have
12 = \pi r\sqrt{r^(2)+ h^(2)}

Now plug r as 2 in this equation


12 \pi = \pi (2)\sqrt{2^(2)+ h^(2)}

Now solve for h as shown and get h by itself


(12\pi)/(2\pi) = \frac{2\pi\sqrt{4+h^(2)}}{2 \pi}


6 = \sqrt{4+h^(2)}


6^(2) = \sqrt{4+h^(2)} ^(2)


36} = 4+h^(2)
36 - 4 = 4+h^(2) -4


32 = h^(2)
√(32) = \sqrt{h^(2)}


√(16 * 2) = h
√(16) * √(2) = h


4√(2) = h----------------------------------------------------(2)

Now plug 2 in r place and
4√(2) in h place in volume formula given in (1)


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


V = (\pi (2)^(2)4√(2))/(3) [/tex</p><p>][tex] V = (\pi (4)4√(2))/(3)


V = (16 \pi √(2))/(3)

so choice (1) is right answer


(1) (16 √(2)\pi)/(3)

correct answer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(2) 16 √(2) \pi

incorrect answer as correct volume answer we got as
(16 √(2)\pi)/(3) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(3) 4 √(38) \pi

incorrect answer as correct volume answer we got as
(16 √(2)\pi)/(3) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
