Problem 3
The lateral surface area of a right circular cone, , is
represented by the equation , where is the radius of the
circular base and is the height of the cone. If the lateral
surface area of a large cone-shaped funnel is and its radius is
5.75 centimeters, find its height, to the nearest hundredth of
a centimeter.
