Question

What is the volume of the cone shown below?
17 cm
16 cm

Answer 1

V = 1138.77333333 cm^3

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

We know the diameter so we can find the radius

d = 16

r = d/2

= 16/2 =8

The radius is 8

V = 1/3 pi (8)^2 * 17

V = 1088/3 *pi

Using 3.14 for pi

V = 1138.77333333 cm^3
