The question as text
5. 12 cm r cm 30 cm h cm Figure 3 Figure 3 shows a container in the shape of a hollow, inverted, right circular cone. The height of the container is 30 cm and the radius is 12 cm, as shown in Figure 3. The container is initially empty when water starts flowing into it. When the height of water is h cm, the surface of the water has radius r cm and the volume of water is V cm 3

from (a) before substituting
and rearranging to find h. Do not be concerned by the
