Answer: 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is given by :-
[tex]\text{Volume}=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex], where r is radius and h is height of the cone.
Given : The volume of cone = 83.74 cubic inches
The height of cone = 5 inches
Then by using the above formula , we have
[tex]83.74=\dfrac{1}{3}(3.14) r^2 5\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^2=\dfrac{3\times83.74}{3.14\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^2=16.0012738854\approx16\\\\\Righatrrow\ r=\sqrt{16}=4\text{ inches}[/tex]
Diameter of cone = [tex]2r=2(4)=8\text{ inches}[/tex]
Hence, the diameter of cone = 8 inches
