f the volume of a cone is 168pi inches^3 and its altitude is 14 inches, what is the radius of the cone?
:
The volume of a cone formula: V = *
Given: v = 168pi, h = 14, find r
* =
divide both sides by pi
* = 168
Multiply both sides by 3
= 504
divide both sides by 14
r^2 =
:
r^2 = 36
r =
r = 6 inches is the radius
:
:
Check this on your calc:
forget pi, it's on both sides of the equation.
enter * results: 168
