Exercise 25 Page 603

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

Approximately 4.5m

Practice makes perfect

We are given that the volume of a cone is 42.39 cubic meters and the radius of the base is 3 meters.

To find the height, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone. V= 13Ï€ r^2 h Here, r is the radius and h is the height of the cone. We are given that the radius of the cone is 3 meters. The volume is 42.39 cubic meters. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for the height h.

V=1/3Ï€ r^2 h
42.39=1/3Ï€ ( 3)^2 h
â–¼
Solve for h
42.39 = 1/3 π (9) h
42.39 = 1/3 (9)Ï€ h
42.39 = 9/3Ï€ h
42.39 = 3 π h
14.13 = π h
14.13/Ï€ = h
h = 14.13/Ï€
h = 4.497719...
h ≈ 4.5

We found out that the height of the cone is approximately 4.5 meters.
