Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 13.3ft 13.3 \mathrm{ft} and a base with a diameter of 9.4ft 9.4 \mathrm{ft} . Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.\newlineAnswer: ft3 \mathrm{ft}^{3}
  1. Identify Volume Formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a right circular cone. The formula for the volume VV of a right circular cone is V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h, where rr is the radius of the base and hh is the height of the cone.
  2. Calculate Base Radius: Calculate the radius of the base of the cone.\newlineThe diameter of the base is given as 9.49.4 feet. The radius (r)(r) is half of the diameter, so r=diameter2=9.42=4.7r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{9.4}{2} = 4.7 feet.
  3. Substitute Values: Substitute the values of the radius and height into the volume formula.\newlineUsing the radius r=4.7r = 4.7 feet and the height h=13.3h = 13.3 feet, we substitute these values into the volume formula: V=(1/3)π(4.7)2(13.3)V = (1/3)\pi(4.7)^2(13.3).
  4. Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the substituted values.\newlineV=13π(4.7)2(13.3)=13π(22.09)(13.3)13π(293.597)97.8659πV = \frac{1}{3}\pi(4.7)^2(13.3) = \frac{1}{3}\pi(22.09)(13.3) \approx \frac{1}{3}\pi(293.597) \approx 97.8659\pi cubic feet.
  5. Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression to find the volume in cubic feet. Using the approximation π3.14159\pi \approx 3.14159, we get V97.8659×3.14159307.454V \approx 97.8659 \times 3.14159 \approx 307.454 cubic feet.
  6. Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately 307.5307.5 cubic feet.
