Answer

Radius = 6.00 cm

Step-by-step explanation

The volume of a cone is given as

Volume = ⅓πr²h

where

π = pi = 3.14

r = radius of the cone = ?

h = height of the cone = 16 centimeters

Volume = 602.88 cubic centimeters

Volume = ⅓πr²h

602.88 = ⅓ × 3.14 × r² × 16

r² = [(602.88) (3)]/[(16) (3.14)]

r² = 36

Take the square root of both sides

r = 6

Hope this Helps!!!
