Question

Find the volume of the cone. Use 3.14 for p. Round to the nearest tenth.

Select one:
a. 1884.0 m^3
b. 7536.0 m^3
c. 628.0 m^3
d. 2512.0 m^3

Answer 1

c. 628.0 m³

Explanation:

Volume of a cone is:

V = ⅓ π r² h

To find the radius, use Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

26² = 24² + (2r)²

676 = 576 + 4r²

100 = 4r²

r² = 25

Substitute:

V = ⅓ (3.14) (25) (24)

V = 628.0
