The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( V \) is the volume
- \( r \) is the radius
- \( h \) is the height of the cone
Given that the volume \( V = 2200.512 \) cubic yards, and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can rearrange this formula to find the radius \( r \):
\[ r^2 = \frac{3V}{\pi h} \]
To find the radius, we need the height \( h \). However, we currently do not have a value for \( h \). The problem does not specify \( h \), so without that value, we cannot calculate \( r \) exactly.
If we had a specific height, we could plug that value into the formula, calculate \( r \), and then round it to the nearest hundredth.
Could you provide the height \( h \) of the cone to continue?
