We know,

Volume of cone = 13πr2h\dfrac{1}{3}πr^2h.

Given, Volume of cone = 1570 cm3 and h = 15 cm.

13πr2h=157013×3.14×r2×15=1570r2=1570×315×3.14r2=471047.1r2=100r=100=10 cm.\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}πr^2h = 1570 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times r^2 \times 15 = 1570 \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = \dfrac{1570 \times 3}{15 \times 3.14} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = \dfrac{4710}{47.1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = 100 \\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{100} = 10 \text{ cm}.

Hence, the radius of the base = 10 cm.
