An ice cream waffle cone can be modeled by a right circular cone with a base diameter 6.6 centimeters and a volume of 54.45 cubic centimeters what is the number of centimeters in the height of the waffle cone

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the waffle cone is: 4.78 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Diameter of cone = d = 6.6 cm

Volume of cone = V = 54.45 cm^3

First of all, we have to find the radius of the cone

So,

[tex]r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{6.6}{2} = 3.3\ cm[/tex]

The volume of cone is given by:

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

Putting the known values

[tex]54.45 = \frac{1}{3} * 3.14 * (3.3)^2 * h\\54.45 = \frac{1}{3} * 3.14 * 10.89 * h\\54.45 = 3.14 * 3.63 * h\\54.45 = 11.3982h\\h = \frac{54.45}{11.3982}\\h = 4.7770\ cm\\[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

h = 4.78 cm

Hence,

The height of the waffle cone is: 4.78 cm
