Question

Find the height of a cone with a radius of 12 inches and a volume of 1,281.12 cubic inches.

Answer 1

`\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=12\\ V=1281.12 \end{cases} \implies 1281.12=\cfrac{\pi (12)^2 h}{3} \\\\\\ (3)(1281.12)=144\pi h\implies \cfrac{(3)(1281.12)}{144\pi }=h\implies 8.50\approx h`
