the volume of a cone is 18(pi) cubic feet. if the height of the cone is 6 feet what is the radius of the cone?

1 answer

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the volume of the cone is 18π cubic feet and the height is 6 feet, we can plug in these values and solve for the radius:

18π = (1/3) * π * r^2 * 6
r^2 = 18
r = √18
r ≈ 4.24 feet

Therefore, the radius of the cone is approximately 4.24 feet.
