35 = [tex] \frac{1}{3}[/tex] (3.14)(r²)(2.4)
35 = [tex] \frac{1}{3}[/tex] (7.536)(r²)
35 = 2.512 r²

35 ÷ 2.512 = 14
2.512 ÷ 2.512 = 1
14 ≈ r²
√14 ≈ √r²
3.74165 ≈ r

I'd say A would be the answer!

Answer: 5.81 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of volume of cone is given by :-

[tex]\text{V}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex], where r is the radius and h is height  of the cone.

Given: Volume of cone =  35 cubic inches

The radius of cone = 2.4 inches

[tex]\Rightarrow 35=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (2.4)^2 h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\dfrac{35\times3}{(2.4)^2(3.14)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=5.8054670913\approx5.81 \text{ inches}[/tex]

Hence, the height of the cone is 5.82 inches.
