Question

You are filling paper cones with popcorn for a party.

The radius of each cone is 8 centimeters and the height
is 15 centimeters. Find the amount of popcorn needed to
fill the paper cone to the nearest cubic centimeter. Use
3.14 for π

Answer 1

The amount of popcorn needed to fill the paper cone is
`V=1,005\ cm^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^(2) h`

In this problem we have

`r=8\ cm`

`h=15\ cm`

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`V=(1)/(3)(3.14)(8)^(2)(15)`

`V=1,005\ cm^(3)`
