Question

The area of the base of a cylinder is 48 square inches and its height is 14 inches. A cone has the same area for its base and the same height. What is the volume of the cone?

Answer 1

224 in^3

Explanation:

The foruma appropriate to the calculation of the cone's volume is ...

V = (1/3)Bh

where B represents the area of the base and h represents the height.

For your numbers, this is ...

V = (1/3)·(48 in^2)(14 in) = (16 in^2)(14 in) = 224 in^3
