If a cone-shaped water cup holds 23 cubic inches and has a radius of 1 inch, what is the height of the cup? Use 3.14 to for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

The formula for the volume of a cone is: [tex] \pi r^2 \frac{h}{3} [/tex]

We know the radius and the volume, so we can solve for the height.

[tex]23=3.14*1^2* \frac{h}{3} [/tex]

We start by multiplying both sides by 3.

[tex]69=3.14*1*h--\ \textgreater \ 69=3.14*h[/tex]

To finish this problem, we divide both sides by 3.14 to get h on its own.

h = 21.97, so the height of the cone is 21.97 inches.

The height of the cone is 21.97 inches.
