Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 9.6m and a base with a radius of 2.1m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.Answer: m3
Formula for Volume: The formula to calculate the volume 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 in Values: First, we need to plug in the values for r and h into the formula. The radius r is 2.1 meters and the height h is 9.6 meters.So, V=(31)π(2.1)2(9.6).
Calculate Radius Square: Next, we calculate the square of the radius, which is (2.1)2.(2.1)2=4.41.
Multiply Radius and Height: Now, we multiply the squared radius by the height and then by (1/3)π. V=(1/3)π(4.41)(9.6).
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the volume.V=31π(4.41)(9.6)=π(4.41)(3.2)=14.112π.
Final Volume Calculation: Finally, we need to multiply by π and round the result to the nearest tenth.V≈14.112×3.14159≈44.3m3 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
