Answer:
Height of the cone = 5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the rectangular prism with a cone shaped hole = Volume of the rectangular prism - Volume of the cone
Volume of the rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height
= 5 × 5 × 7
= 175 cm³
Volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
Here, r = Radius of the cone
h = Height of the cone
Volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3}{2})^{2}(h)[/tex]
= 0.75πh cm³
Volume of the rectangular prism with a hole = 163.22 cm³
175 - 0.75πh = 163.22
0.75πh = 175 - 163.22
0.75πh = 11.78
h = 5 cm
