Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 16.6in and a base with a circumference of 4.8in . Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.Answer: in3
Find Radius of Base: First, we need to find the radius of the base of the cone. We know the circumference C of a circle is given by the formula C=2πr, where r is the radius. We can rearrange this formula to solve for r: r=2πC.
Calculate Radius: Now, let's calculate the radius using the given circumference of 4.8 inches: r=2π4.8in≈6.28324.8in≈0.764 inches.
Use Volume Formula: Next, we can use the formula for the volume V of a cone, which is V=31πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.
Substitute Values: Let's substitute the values of r and h into the volume formula: V=31π(0.764in)2(16.6in).
Calculate Volume: Now, we calculate the volume: V \approx \frac{\(1\)}{\(3\)}\pi(\(0.583696 \text{ in}^2)(16.6 \text{ in}) \approx \frac{1}{3}\pi(9.68815536 \text{ in}^3) \approx 3.22938512\pi \text{ in}^3.
Final Calculation: Finally, we multiply by π and round to the nearest tenth: V≈3.22938512πin3≈3.22938512×3.1416in3≈10.146in3 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
