Volume of cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2*h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=1/3 *pi*12^2*16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=768 pi\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Volume of coin = pi r^2 h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=pi*(3/4)^2*(1/6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=0.09 pi\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of coins = Volume of cone/volume of coin\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=768 pi/0.09 pi\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 8192 coins\r
