Q. The volume of a right cone is 1344π units 3. If its diameter measures 24 units, find its height.Answer: units
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and the formula for the volume of a cone.The volume V of a cone is given by the formula V=31πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.Given volume V=1344π cubic units and diameter d=24 units, we can find the radius r by dividing the diameter by 2.
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius of the cone.Radius r=2d=224 units=12 units.
Substitute Values and Solve: Substitute the values of the volume and radius into the volume formula and solve for the height h. 1344π=(31)π(122)h
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by π and multiplying by 3 to isolate h.1344=(31)(122)h1344×3=122×h4032=144h
Divide to Solve for Height: Divide both sides by 144 to solve for h. h=1444032h=28 units
