Find the height of a cone that has a volume of 225π cubic meters and a diameter of 10 meters.(1 point) The height of the cone is meters

1 answer

To find the height 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 of the base, and \( h \) is the height.

Given that the volume \( V = 225\pi \) cubic meters and the diameter of the cone is 10 meters, we first find the radius:

\[ r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ meters} \]

Now we can substitute the values into the volume formula:

\[ 225\pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi (5^2) h \]

Calculating \( 5^2 \):

\[ 5^2 = 25 \]

Substituting back into the volume equation gives:

\[ 225\pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi (25) h \]

We can simplify this by dividing both sides by \( \pi \):

\[ 225 = \frac{1}{3} (25) h \]

Now, multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ 675 = 25h \]

Now, solve for \( h \) by dividing both sides by 25:

\[ h = \frac{675}{25} = 27 \]

Thus, the height of the cone is

\[ \boxed{27} \text{ meters} \]
