Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 16.2m and a base with a radius of 15.6m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.Answer: m3
Volume Formula: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula V=31πr2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.
Calculate Radius Squared: First, we need to square the radius of the base. The radius is 15.6 meters, so we calculate 15.62. 15.62=243.36
Multiply Radius Squared by Height: Next, we multiply the squared radius by the height of the cone. The height is 16.2 meters, so we calculate 243.36×16.2.243.36×16.2=3942.432
Apply 1/3 Formula: Now, we multiply this result by 31 to apply the formula for the volume of a cone.(31)×3942.432=1314.144
Multiply by Pi: Finally, we multiply by π to complete the calculation.1314.144×π≈4131.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
