Question

A cone shaped tent has a height of 7.5 feet and a diameter of 12feet. What’s the volume of the cone?

Answer 1

282.6 cubic feet

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is found using the volume formula for a cone
`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2h`.

Substitute h=7.5 and r = 6 (since the radius is half the diameter of 12).

`V = (1)/(3)\pi r^2h\\V = (1)/(3)\pi (6^2)(7.5)\\V=(1)/(3)\pi *36*7.5\\V = (847.8)/(3)\\V= 282.6`
