The radius of the cone can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cone: V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Given that the volume V = 500 cm^3 and the height h = 5 cm, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the radius r.

500 = (1/3) * π * r^2 * 5
500 = (5/3) * π * r^2
r^2 = 500 / ((5/3) * π)
r^2 = 300 / π
r = √(300 / π)

Therefore, the radius of the cone is approximately 9.23 cm.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let me correct my mistake and provide the correct calculation:

Using the formula for the volume of a cone, V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, and given V = 500 cm^3 and h = 5 cm:

500 = (1/3) * π * r^2 * 5
500 = (5/3) * π * r^2
r^2 = 500 / ((5/3) * π)
r^2 = 300 / π
r = √(300 / π)

Calculating the square root of (300 / π) gives:

r ≈ 7.76 cm

Therefore, the correct radius of the cone is approximately 7.76 cm. Thank you for pointing out the error.
