Answer:
r = 14.998 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cone
V = πr^2h/3
Given:
V = 3,532 yd cubed
π - 3.14
r = h
Since the radius and the height of the cone are equal
So, let r = h = x yd
V = 3.14 * x^2 * x/3
3532 = 3.14x^3/3
3532 = 1.047x^3
Divide both sides by 1.047
3532/1.047 = x^3
3373.45 = x^3
x = 14.998 yd
Since r = h = x
r = h = 14.998yd
r = 14.998yd
Hint: to check if the value of radius and the height are correct, insert the values into the formula
V = πr^2h/3
V = 3.14 * 14.998^2 * 14.998/3
= 3.14 * 224.940 * 4.999
= 3530.852
≈ 3531 yd cubed
Due to approximations
