To find the height of the right circular cone, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cone:
V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h
Given that the radius (r) of the cone is half the diameter, we have:
r = 5.5 / 2 = 2.75 cm
We can rearrange the formula to solve for the height (h):
h = 3 * V / (π * r^2)
Now, let's calculate the volume (V) of the right circular cone:
V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h
= 1/3 * π * (2.75^2) * 12
≈ 40.79 cm^3
Substituting the calculated values, we get:
h = 3 * (40.79) / (π * (2.75^2))
≈ 5.88 cm
Therefore, the height of the right circular cone is approximately 5.88 cm.
