Question:
Jackson buys a grape snow cone on a hot day. By the time he eats all the "snow" off the top, the paper cone is filled with 27\pi27π27, pi cm^3 3 start superscript, 3, end superscript of melted purple liquid. The radius of the cone is 333 cm. What is the height of the cone?
Answer:
The height of the cone is [tex]9 \ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that the radius of the cone is [tex]3 \ cm[/tex]
The volume of the cone is [tex]27\pi[/tex]
The height of the cone can be determine using the formula,
[tex]$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$[/tex]
Substituting the values [tex]V=27 \pi[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex], we get,
[tex]$27 \pi=\frac{1}{3} \pi(3)^{2} h$[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3, we have,
[tex]$81 \pi= 9\pi h$[/tex]
Dividing both sides by [tex]$9 \pi$[/tex], we have,
[tex]9=h[/tex]
Thus, the height of the cone is [tex]9 \ cm[/tex]
