Radius = 9 inches

Formula for volume of a cone:

V=1/3hπr²

Since radius and height are the same, we can put this into out formula

(this is just changing r squared into r cubed since its being multiplied by itself.)

New formula = V =1/3πr³

763.02 = 1/3(πr³)

Times the volume by 3 because we divided it by 3 when finding the volume

2,289.06 = πr³

Divide both sides by pi (3.14)

2,289.06 ÷ 3.14

729 = r³

r = ∛729

r = 9 (inches)
