To find the radius of the cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height.
We are given:
- Volume \( V = 500 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
- Height \( h = 5 \, \text{cm} \)
Plugging these values into the volume formula:
\[
500 = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (5)
\]
Now, simplify the equation:
\[
500 = \frac{5}{3} \pi r^2
\]
To isolate \( r^2 \), multiply both sides by \( \frac{3}{5} \):
\[
r^2 = \frac{500 \times 3}{5 \pi}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
r^2 = \frac{1500}{5 \pi} = \frac{300}{\pi}
\]
Now, take the square root to find \( r \):
\[
r = \sqrt{\frac{300}{\pi}}
\]
Now, let's calculate \( r \):
Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[
r \approx \sqrt{\frac{300}{3.14}} \approx \sqrt{95.54} \approx 9.77 \, \text{cm}
\]
Therefore, the radius \( r \) of the cone is approximately **9.77 cm**.
