Answer:

Height, h = 21 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume = 8792mm³

Radius = 20 mm

To find the height;

We know that the shape of an anthill is conical in nature.

Mathematically, the volume of a cone is given by the formula;

[tex] V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Where;

  • V is the volume of the cone.
  • r is the radius of the base of the cone.
  • h is the height of the cone.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] 8792 = \frac{1}{3} * 3.142*20^{2}*h [/tex]

[tex] 8792 = \frac{1}{3} * 3.142*400*h [/tex]

[tex] 8792 = \frac{1}{3} * 1256.8*h [/tex]

[tex] 8792 = 418.93*h [/tex]

[tex] Height, h = \frac {8792}{418.93}[/tex]

Height, h = 20.99 ≈ 21 mm.

Therefore, the height of the cone is 21 millimeters.
