find the height of a cone with a diameter of 12m whose volume is 264m ^3 . use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest meter .
A. 42m
B. 6m
C. 7m
D. 2m
we have that
The volume of a cone is equal to
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]we have
V=264 m3
pi=3.14
r=12/2=6 m ------> the radius is half the diameter
substitute
[tex]264=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot6^2\cdot h[/tex]solve for h
[tex]\begin{gathered} h=\frac{264\cdot3}{3.14\cdot36} \\ \\ h=7\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]answer is option C
