The equation above can be used to calculate the volume V, of a cone with a height h and radius r. If the volume of a cone is 243?ft3, and the height is equal to the radius of the base, what is the height of the cone in feet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the cone is [tex]h=9\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]V=243\pi\ ft^{3}[/tex]

[tex]r=h\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]243\pi=\frac{1}{3}\pi (h^{2})h[/tex]

simplify

[tex]729=(h^{3})[/tex]

[tex]h=\sqrt[3]{729}\ ft[/tex]

[tex]h=9\ ft[/tex]
