Answer:

h = 54 feet

Explanation:

The equation for the volume of a cone is V =
(1)/(3) × π × r² × h.

You have the volume, which is 8,138.88, and the radius of the base, which is 12.

V = 8,138.88

h = 12

π = 3.14

When you plug everything you know into the equation, you get:

V =
(1)/(3) × 3.14 × r² × h.

8,138.88 =
(1)/(3) × 3.14 × (12)² × h

After you multiply everything on the right side, you come out with:

8,138.88 = 150.72 × h

To find h, you can divide each side by 150.72.

8,138.88 ÷ 150.72 = 54 feet!
