C. The radius is the same as a cylinder with a volume of 500/3 and the same height.
is that the correct answer?
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
To find the radius of the cone, you can use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height. So, with the given height of 5 cm and volume of 500 cm^3, we have:
500 = (1/3) * π * r^2 * 5
500 = (5/3) * π * r^2
r^2 = 300/(5π)
r = √(300/(5π)) = √(60/π) ≈ 4.34 cm
Therefore, the correct answer is that the radius of the cone is approximately 4.34 cm.
