The distance from the top of the cone to the edge is 15 feet. The height of the cone is 6 feet. What is the radius of the cone? Round to the nearest

tenth

Answer: The radius of the cone is 5 / ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

V=/frac{1}{3}/pi r^{2}h

In this problem we have

V=50/pi / ft^{3}

h=6 / ft

substitute in the formula and solve for r

50/pi=/frac{1}{3}/pi r^{2} (6)

Simplify

25=r^{2}

square root both sides

r=5 / ft
