Question

which solid figures have their volume calculated using the formula V=1/3bh, where b is the area of the base and h, is the height

Answer 1

The formula
`V=(1)/(3) bh` is used to calculate the volume of cone, if b is the area of the base and h is the height.

Explanation:

From the given,

Volume of cone,
`V=(1)/(3) bh`......................(1)

Where, b - Area of base

h - Height of cone

Base area,

The base area of cone is circular shaped so area of circle formula can be used to calculate the area of base of cone.

Area of base,
`b =\pi r^(2)`

Where, b - Base area

r - Radius of cone

`\pi = 3.14` is constant

Ref the attachment for clarification of radius and height of cone, to understand the volume of cone.

Result:

The formula
`V=(1)/(3) bh` is used to calculate the volume of cone, if b is the area of the base and h is the height.
