A cone has a volume of 8 (3.14) cubic feet and a height of 6 feet. what is the radius of the base?

Volume of a Cone = (1/3) * (pi) * (radius) * (radius) * (height)

we are given:

pi = 3.14

height = 6

Volume = 8 (3.14)

plug in

8 (3.14) = (1/3) * (3.14) * (radius) ^2 * (6)

8 = (1/3) * (6) * (radius) ^2 [divided both sides by 3.14]

8 = (2) * (radius) ^2 [simplified (1/3) * (6) ]

4 = (radius) ^2 [divided 2 from both sides]

radius = 2 [square rooted both sides (sqrt (4)) = 2]

therefore the radius = 2 ft
