Question

Inga knows that the radius of a certain cone is 4 cm and its volume is about 134 cubic centimeters. Which is the best estimate of the cone's height?

Answer 1

h=8cm

Explanation:

V= πr^2h/3

Where

V=volume of a cone

π=pi= 3.14

r= radius=4cm

h= height = ?

V= πr^2h/3

134= 3.14*4*4*h/3

134= 50.24h/3

Divide both sides by 50.24

h/3= 134 / 50.24

h/3= 2.67

Cross product

h= 2.67*3

h= 8.01

Approximately h= 8cm

The best estimate of the cone's height is 8cm
