Solution:

Given:


\bullet \ \ \text{Volume of party hat} = 75\pi \text{ inches}^(3)


\bullet \ \ \text{Radius of party hat:}\ 5 \ \text{inches}

Recall that the formula to find the volume of a cone is πr²h/3. Now, let's use the formula to find the height.


\bullet \rightarrow \text{Volume of cone:} \ ( \pi r^(2) h)/(3)


\bullet \rightarrow \text{Volume of party hat} =( \pi r^(2) h)/(3) = 75\pi \text{ inches}^(3)


\bullet \rightarrow ( (\pi )( 5^(2))( h))/(3) = 75\pi \text{ inches}^(3)


\bullet \rightarrow (\pi )( 5^(2))( h)} = 75\pi * 3


\bullet \rightarrow { (\pi )( 25)( h)}= 225\pi


\bullet \rightarrow \frac{{ (\pi )( 25)( h)}}{25} = (225\pi)/(25)


\bullet \rightarrow { (\pi )( h)}= 9\pi


\bullet \rightarrow \frac{{ (\pi )( h)}}{\pi } =( 9\pi)/(\pi )


\bullet \rightarrow \boxed{\bold{h= 9 \ \text{inches}}}

Thus, the height of the party hat is 9 inches.

Answer:

h is 9 inches

Explanation:

the volume of the cone is 2π
r^(2)(h)(1/3)

just substitution, easy

75π=2π
r^(2)(h)(1/3)
