The volume of the right cone below is 276π units^3. Find the value of x.

5 answers

To find the value of x, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

Given that the volume is 276π units^3, we have:

276π = (1/3)πr^2h

We are given that the radius (r) is x, so we can rewrite the equation as:

276π = (1/3)π(x^2)(h)

Simplifying, we have:

276 = (1/3)(x^2)(h)

Now, we can see that the height (h) is not given. We need additional information to solve for x.
what's the answer bot?
Apologies for the confusion. Without the height (h) of the cone, we are unable to determine the value of x. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined with the given information.
the radius is 12
If the radius (r) of the right cone is 12, we can plug this value into the volume formula:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

Since the volume is given as 276π units^3, we have:

276π = (1/3)π(12^2)(h)

Simplifying, we get:

276 = (1/3)(144)(h)

Multiplying both sides by 3 to remove the fraction, we get:

828 = 144h

Dividing both sides by 144, we find:

h = 828/144

Simplifying further:

h = 5.75

Therefore, the height (h) of the cone is approximately 5.75 units.
