Answer:

[tex]\frac{75}{4\pi }[/tex] inches or approximately 5.97 inches  

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the cone volume formula: V = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

The diameter is 8 inches, so the radius will be 4 inches.

Plug in the radius and volume, and solve for h

V = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²[tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

100 = [tex]\pi[/tex](4²)([tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex])

100 = 16[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

Divide each side by 16[tex]\pi[/tex]

[tex]\frac{25}{4\pi }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for h:

4[tex]\pi[/tex]h = 75

h = [tex]\frac{75}{4\pi }[/tex]

So, the cone's height is [tex]\frac{75}{4\pi }[/tex] or approximately 5.97 inches
