The diameter of the traffic cone= 0.4604

Explanation:

The volume of the cone= 150 cubic inches.

The height of the cone= 18 inches.

The volume of the cone= (1/3) x pi x R² x H

150 = (1/3) x (22/7) x R² x 18

R² = 3 x 7/ 22 x 18

R² = 0.0530

R = 0.2302

Diameter, D= R x 2

D= 0.2302 x 2

Diameter, D= 0.4604
