To find the radius of the cone, we can use the information provided about its dimensions. The cone being "8 inches wide" likely refers to its diameter. The diameter \(d\) is twice the radius \(r\).
1. **Convert the diameter to radius:**
\[
d = 8 \text{ inches} \Rightarrow r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ inches}
\]
Thus, the radius of the cone is **4 inches**.
The other measurements you provided (12 inches tall and 10 inches from the side to the center) may be additional information, but they do not affect the radius calculation as long as the 8 inches wide is understood as the diameter.
