Question

The base of a cone shaped glass is 12 inches and it is 18 inches tall. You fill the glass with soda to the top of the glass. What is the amount of liquid in terms of volume? (Give the exact volume rounded to the nearest tenth)

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the volume of a cone, use the equation: V = 1/3Bh.

In this equation, V is the volume, B is the base, and h is the height.

We are given that the base is 12 inches, and the height is 18 inches. With those necessary values, we can substitute those values, and calculate it.

V = 1/3(12)(18)

V = 4(18)

V = 72.0

Therefore, the volume of this glass is 72.0 cubic inches.
