Math Problem Statement

Find the missing dimension of a cone.    V = 753.3 dm3, r = 8.4 cm, h = ?

Solution

To find the missing dimension hh (the height) of the cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

Given:

  • Volume, V=753.3dm3=753.3×1000cm3=753300cm3V = 753.3 \, \text{dm}^3 = 753.3 \times 1000 \, \text{cm}^3 = 753300 \, \text{cm}^3 (since 1dm3=1000cm31 \, \text{dm}^3 = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3)
  • Radius, r=8.4cmr = 8.4 \, \text{cm}

Substituting into the volume formula:

753300=13π(8.4)2h753300 = \frac{1}{3} \pi (8.4)^2 h

Now, let's solve for hh.The height of the cone is approximately 10194.85cm10194.85 \, \text{cm}.
