Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 1111.77 in\text{in} and a base with a circumference of 18.8 18.8 in\mathrm{in} . Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.\newlineAnswer: in\text{in} 3 ^{3}
  1. Find Radius of Base: First, we need to find the radius of the base of the cone. The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=2πrC = 2\pi r, where CC is the circumference and rr is the radius. We can rearrange this formula to solve for rr: r=C2πr = \frac{C}{2\pi}.
  2. Calculate Radius: Now, let's calculate the radius using the given circumference of 18.818.8 inches: r=18.8in2πr = \frac{18.8 \, \text{in}}{2\pi}. We can approximate π\pi as 3.141593.14159.
  3. Calculate Volume Formula: Performing the calculation: r=18.8in2×3.14159r = \frac{18.8 \, \text{in}}{2 \times 3.14159} 18.8in6.283182.993in\approx \frac{18.8 \, \text{in}}{6.28318} \approx 2.993 \, \text{in}. This is the radius of the base of the cone.
  4. Plug in Values: Next, we use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is V=(13)πr2hV = (\frac{1}{3})\pi r^2 h, where VV is the volume, rr is the radius, and hh is the height.
  5. Calculate Volume: We plug in the values for rr and hh into the volume formula: V=13π(2.993in)2(11.7in)V = \frac{1}{3}\pi(2.993 \, \text{in})^2(11.7 \, \text{in}).
  6. Square Radius: Now, we calculate the volume: V=(13)×3.14159×(2.993 in)2×11.7 inV = (\frac{1}{3}) \times 3.14159 \times (2.993 \text{ in})^2 \times 11.7 \text{ in}.
  7. Multiply by Height and π\pi: First, square the radius: (2.993in)28.958in2(2.993 \, \text{in})^2 \approx 8.958 \, \text{in}^2.
  8. Round the Answer: Then, multiply by the height and π\pi: V(1/3)×3.14159×8.958 in2×11.7 in3.14159×2.986 in2×11.7 in104.187 in3V \approx (1/3) \times 3.14159 \times 8.958 \text{ in}^2 \times 11.7 \text{ in} \approx 3.14159 \times 2.986 \text{ in}^2 \times 11.7 \text{ in} \approx 104.187 \text{ in}^3.
  9. Round the Answer: Then, multiply by the height and π\pi: V(1/3)×3.14159×8.958 in2×11.7 in3.14159×2.986 in2×11.7 in104.187 in3V \approx (1/3) \times 3.14159 \times 8.958 \text{ in}^2 \times 11.7 \text{ in} \approx 3.14159 \times 2.986 \text{ in}^2 \times 11.7 \text{ in} \approx 104.187 \text{ in}^3. Finally, we round the answer to the nearest tenth: V104.2 in3V \approx 104.2 \text{ in}^3.
