Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 7.7cm and a base with a radius of 20cm. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.Answer: cm3
Formula Explanation: To find the volume of a right circular cone, we use the formula:Volume = (1/3)⋅π⋅r2⋅hwhere r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Given Values: First, we plug in the given values into the formula:Volume = (31)⋅π⋅(20cm)2⋅7.7cm
Radius Calculation: Next, we calculate the square of the radius: (20cm)2=400cm2
Substitution: Now we substitute the squared radius back into the volume formula:Volume = (31)⋅π⋅400cm2⋅7.7cm
Multiplication: We perform the multiplication of the constants and the height: Volume = \left(\frac{\(1\)}{\(3\)}\right) \times \pi \times \(400 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 7.7 \, \text{cm} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \times \pi \times 3080 \, \text{cm}^3
Volume Calculation: We calculate the volume by multiplying the remaining terms:Volume ≈31×3.14159×3080cm3≈1026.53×3.14159cm3
Approximation: Finally, we find the approximate value of the volume: Volume≈3227.1847cm3
Rounding: We round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter: Volume≈3227.2cm3
