Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is given by:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

where V is the volume of the cone, r is the radius of the base, h is the height of the cone, and π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately equal to 3.14159).

Substituting the given values, we get:

471 = (1/3) x 13.4 x 5^2 x h

Multiplying both sides by 3 and dividing by 13.4 x 25, we get:

h = 471 x 3 / (13.4 x 25)

h ≈ 6.98 yards (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the height of the cone is approximately 6.98 yards.
