Question

11 m

Radius: ?
2. The height of the cone is 11m. What
is the radius of the cone if the volume
is 103.62 cu. cm. Show your work.

Answer 1

first off let's notice that the height is 11 meters and the volume of the cone is 103.62 cubic centimeters, so let's first convert the height to the corresponding unit for the volume, well 1 meters is 100 cm, so 11 m is 1100 cm.

`\textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ V=\stackrel{cm^3}{103.62}\\ h=\stackrel{cm}{1100} \end{cases}\implies 103.62=\cfrac{\pi r^2 (1100)}{3} \\\\\\ 3(103.62)=1100\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{3(103.62)}{1100\pi }=r^2 \\\\\\ \sqrt{\cfrac{3(103.62)}{1100\pi }}=r\implies \stackrel{cm}{0.00510199305952} \approx r`
