Answer:

C. 21.97 inches.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is:


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

Now we clear the formula to get that:


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

Now you just put the values we have in the formula:


H=(3(23))/((1^(2))(\pi) )


H=(69)/((1)(3.14) )


H=21.9745 }

Since they ask you to round it up or down to the nearest hunderth, the answer is 21.97 inches.
