Answer: 6 cm, V=48π or V=150.8 cm³

It appears the question is asking for the radius, but below I have shown how to find the volume.

Explanation:

The radius is half of the diameter. The diameter of the cone of 12 cm. Half of 12 is 6. Therefore, the radius is 6 cm.

The formula to find the volume of a cone is
V=\pi r^2(h)/(3). Now that we have the radius from above, we can use that to plug into the equation along with the given height.


V=\pi (6^2)(4)/(3) [expand the exponent]


V=36\pi (4)/(3) [combine like terms]


V=48\pi or
V=150.8 cm^3
