Question

The diameter of the base of a cone is shown on the grid. Each square unit on the grid has a side length of 1 foot. The volume of the cone is approximately 200.96 cubic feet. Determine the height of the cone, and construct it vertically on the grid with respect to the center of the cone's base.

Use 3.14 for .

Answer 1

First, we need to find the radius of the base of the cone. We can see from the grid that the diameter is 8 units, so the radius is 4 units (or 4 feet).

Next, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone to find the height:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

Substituting the given volume and radius, and using 3.14 for π, we get:

200.96 = (1/3) x 3.14 x 4^2 x h

Simplifying and solving for h, we get:

h = 200.96 / (1/3 x 3.14 x 4^2)

h = 200.96 / 53.02

h ≈ 3.79 feet (rounded to two decimal places)

To construct the cone vertically on the grid with respect to the center of the base, we can draw a circle with radius 4 units (or 4 feet) centered at the point (4,4) on the grid. Then, we can draw a line from the center of the circle (point (4,4)) up to a point above the circle that is 3.79 units (or 3.79 feet) away from the center. This line represents the height of the cone. Finally, we can connect the endpoint of the line to the points where the circle intersects the grid to complete the cone.
