-----------------------------------
Formula:
-----------------------------------

\text {Volume of the cone = } (1)/(3) \pi r^2h

-----------------------------------
Find Radius
-----------------------------------
Radius = Diameter ÷ 2
Radius = 20 ÷ 2
Radius = 10

-----------------------------------
Find Height:
-----------------------------------

150 = (1)/(3) \pi (10)^2h


150 * 3 = \pi (10)^2h


450= \pi (10)^2h


h = 450 / 100\pi


h = 1.43 \ in \text { (Nearest hundredth)}

Volume = PI x r^2 x H/3

fill in the known information:

150 = 3.14 x 10^2 x H/3

150 = 3.14 x 100 x h/3

150 = 314 x h/3

314h = 150x3
314h = 450

h = 450/314

h = 1.433 ( round answer as needed )
