Question

A cone has a radius of 200 m at its base. The cone is 50 m high. How much space is inside the cone?

Answer 1

The question "how much space is inside a solid?" is actually asking about the volume of that solid.

The volume of a cone is given by

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

where h is the height of the cone, and r is its radius.

So, you only need to plug in the values:

`V = (1)/(3)\pi\cdot 50 \cdot 200^2 = (2000000\pi)/(3)m^3`
