Question

Find the volume of a cone with a height of 12 yd and a base diameter of 10 yd.

Use the value 3.14 for , and do not do any rounding.

Answer 1

The volume of the cone is 314yd³

Explanation:

radius = half of diameter

d = 10yd

r = 10yd / 2 = 5yd

First of all to solve this problem we have to know the formula to calculate the volume of a cone

v = volume

r = radius = 5yd

h = height = 12yd

π = 3.14

v = 1/3 * π * r² * h

we replace with the known values

v = 1/3 * 3.14 * (5yd)² * 12yd

v = 1/3 * 3.14 * 25yd² * 12yd

v = 314yd³

The volume of the cone is 314yd³
