Question :

Cone is formed from 3200 ft³ of gravel, if the height of the cone is 24 ft what is the radius in feet of the base of the cone

Answer:

11.3 feet

Explanation:

The volume of a cone = πr²h/3

We are asked to find the radius

The formula is given as:

r = √3V/πh

V = 3200 ft³

h = 24 ft

r = √3 × 2400/π × 24

r = 11.28379 ft

Approximately = 11.3 ft

The radius in feet = 11.3 ft
