Answer:


r = x√(3.54)

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not well presented; However, the solution is as follows

Given

Shape: Cone


Volume = 3.7x^3

Height = x

Required

Find the radius of the cone

The volume of a cone is:


Volume = (1)/(3)\pi r^2h

Where h represents height and r represents radius;

Substitute x for h and
3.7x^3 for Volume


(1)/(3)\pi r^2 * x = 3.7x^3

Multiply both sides by 3


3 * (1)/(3)\pi r^2 * x = 3.7x^3 * 3


\pi r^2 * x = 3.7x^3 * 3


\pi r^2 * x = 11.1x^3

Multiply both sides by x


(\pi r^2 * x)/(x) = (11.1x^3)/(x)


\pi r^2 = (11.1x^3)/(x)


\pi r^2 = 11.1x^2

Take π as 3.14


3.14 * r^2 = 11.1x^2

Divide both sides by 3.14


(3.14 * r^2)/(3.14) = (11.1x^2)/(3.14)


r^2 = (11.1x^2)/(3.14)


r^2 = 3.54x^2

Take Square root of both sides


√(r^2) = √(3.54x^2)


r = √(3.54x^2)

Split the square root


r = √(3.54) * √(x^2)


r = √(3.54) * x


r = x√(3.54)
