In cold climate areas, trucks are used to disperse salt on the roads in order to de-ice the roads, making them safe for travel. In some cases, cone- shaped sheds store the salt during the off-season, or until the roads need to be de-iced. This large salt storage shed sits 12 feet above the ground and holds approximately 51.4 cubic feet of salt. To the nearest hundredth of a foot, what is the radius of the large storage shed? Use 3.14 for pi. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

finding the volume of a cone (V=1/3 x pi x r^2 x h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
You will substitute in the information you know and then solve for the radius(r).
