Question

The volume of a cone is 42 in3 and the cone’s base area is 9 in2.

What is the height of the cone?

Answer 1

height = 14 in

the volume (V) of a cone can be calculated using the formula

V =
`(1)/(3)` × area of base × height ( h) ( substitute in given values )

42 =
`(1)/(3)` × 9 × h

42 = 3h ( divide both sides by 3 )

h = 14
