Q. Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14in and a base with a radius of 9.1in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.Answer: in3
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=9.1 inches and height h=14 inches, we substitute these values into the formula to get V=31π(9.1)2(14).
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the given values.First, calculate the radius squared: (9.1)2=82.81.Then, multiply by the height: 82.81×14=1159.34.Now, multiply by π: 1159.34×π≈3641.68.Finally, multiply by 1/3 to get the volume: (1/3)×3641.68≈1213.89.
Round Result: Round the result to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.Rounding 1213.89 to the nearest tenth gives us 1213.9 cubic inches.
