A cone shaped container can hold 340.2 in cubed. If the radius of the opening is 5in what is the height of the cone? Round to the nearest in.

Respuesta :

Answer:

about 128 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's talking about how much the container is holding, this means we have to use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is  [tex]V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}[/tex]

Plug in the given values into the formula and solve for h:

[tex]340.2=\pi (5)^{2} \frac{h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]340.2=\pi (25)\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{340.2}{25\pi } = \frac{25\pi\frac{h}{3} }{25\pi }[/tex]

[tex]42.75=\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]42.75(3)=\frac{h}{3} (3)[/tex]

[tex]128=h[/tex]
