Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 5.2cm and a base with a radius of 19cm. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.Answer: cm3
Identify formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a right circular cone. The formula for the volume V of a right circular cone is V=31πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Plug values: Plug the given values into the formula.Using the given radius r=19 cm and height h=5.2 cm, we substitute these values into the formula to get V=31π(19 cm)2(5.2 cm).
Calculate base area: Calculate the base area and multiply by the height.First, we calculate the area of the base, which is πr2=π(19 cm)2=π(361 cm2). Then we multiply this by the height and divide by 3 to get the volume: V=31π(361 cm2)(5.2 cm).
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication and division to find the volume.Now we calculate V=(31)π(361 cm2)(5.2 cm)=(31)(3.14159)(361 cm2)(5.2 cm)≈(31)(3.14159)(1877.2 cm3)≈1963.4952 cm3.
Round result: Round the result to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.Rounding 1963.4952cm3 to the nearest tenth gives us approximately 1963.5cm3.
