Question

Shyanne went to the candy store with her friend Priyanka. Shyanne showed Priyanka that she found a piece of candy that is in the shape of a cone. The height of the candy is 2.25 centimeters and the diameter is 1.89 centimeters. Determine the volume of the piece of candy. Round to the nearest tenth.

a. 25.2 cm³
b. 8.4 cm ³
c. 2.1 cm ³
d. 4.5 cm ³

Answer 1

By definition, the volume of a cone is given by the expression:
v = hπr ^ 2/3
Where,
h: height of the cone
r: radius of the base
Substituting the values
v = ((2.5) π (1.89 / 2) ^ 2) / 3 = 2.1cm ^ 3
answer
the volume of the piece of candy is:
c. 2.1 cm ³
