The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.

Plugging in the given values, we have:

189 = (1/3)(3.14)(4^2)h
189 = (1/3)(3.14)(16)h
189 = (1.0467)(16)h
189 = 16.7472h
h = 11.2915

Therefore, the height of the cone is approximately 11.3 feet.
