Question

Find the volume of a cone with a base diameter of 6 ft and a height of 8 ft. Use the value of 3.14 for n, and do not do any rounding. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is expressed as

Volume = 1/3πr^h

where

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

From the information given,

diameter = 6

r = diameter/2 = 6/2 = 3

h = 8

π = 3.14

Thus,

Volume = 1/3 x 3.14 x 3^2 x 8

Volume = 75.36 ft^3
