  • Given - a cone with volume 769?3 ft³ , having a height of 15 ft

  • To calculate - radius of the cone

We know that ,


\bold{Volume \: of \: cone = (1)/(3)\pi \: r {}^(2) h }\\

substituting the values in the formula stated above ,


\bold{769.3 = (1)/(3) * 3.14 * r {}^(2) * 15} \\ \\\bold{\implies r {}^(2) = (769.3 * 3)/(3.14 * 15) } \\ \\\bold{\implies r {}^(2) = \cancel(2307.9)/(47.1)} \\ \\\bold{ \implies \: r {}^(2) = 49} \\ \\ \bold{\implies \: r = 7 \: ft}

therefore ,

radius = 7 cm
