The volume of a cone is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "volume(V) = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h, where pi = 22/7, r is radius of base, h is height
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "V = (1/3) * (22/7) * (12/2)^2 * 16 = 603.1858 cubic cm's
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The cone is half filled
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) * 603.1858 = 301.5929 cubic cm's
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we use the formula for V to calculate the height for half filled cone
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "301.5929 = (1/3) * pi * (12/2)^2 * h
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "37.6991 * h = 301.5929
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8.000002653 approx 8 cm
