Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 11.8ft and a base with a radius of 7.3ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.
Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 11.8ft and a base with a radius of 7.3ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.
Recall Formula: Recall the formula for the volume of a cone.The volume V of a cone is given by the formula V=31πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Plug in Values: Plug in the given values into the formula.Here, r=7.3 ft and h=11.8 ft. So, V=31π(7.3)2(11.8).
Calculate Radius Squared: Calculate the radius squared.(7.3)2=53.29.
Multiply Radius and Height: Multiply the radius squared by the height. 53.29×11.8=628.822.
Multiply by (1/3)π: Multiply the result by (1/3)π.(1/3)π×628.822≈3.14159/3×628.822≈658.037.
Round to Nearest Tenth: Round the result to the nearest tenth. 658.037 rounded to the nearest tenth is 658.0 ft³.
