Math Problem Statement
a cone has a circular base of radius 6 and volume of 84 find the height of the cone
Solution
To find the height of the cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:
where:
- is the volume of the cone,
- is the radius of the base,
- is the height of the cone.
We are given:
- ,
- .
Substitute these values into the formula:
Calculate :
Now, simplify:
To isolate , divide both sides by :
Thus, the height of the cone is:
So, the height of the cone is approximately 2.23 units.

Here are some related questions:
- What would the height be if the radius were doubled?
- How would the height change if the volume were doubled?
- What formula is used to calculate the surface area of a cone?
- How is the height affected by changes in the cone's radius?
- What is the effect on volume if both radius and height are doubled?
Tip: Remember that the volume of a cone is directly proportional to both the square of its radius and its height.
