What does 'radius' mean in the context of a cone?

Back

The radius is the distance from the center of the base of the cone to the edge of the base.

Front

What is the height of a cone?

Back

The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex (tip) of the cone.

If a cone has a volume of 100 cubic inches and a height of 5 inches, what is the radius?

Back

Using V = (1/3)πr²h, solve for r: r = sqrt((3V)/(πh)) = sqrt((3*100)/(π*5)) ≈ 4.64 inches.
