Question

A tipt that is shaped like a cone has a diameter of 12 ft and a height of 15 ft. What is the volume of the tipi? please help due tomorrow

Answer 1

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

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

where

r is the radius of the base of the cone

h is the height of the cone

in this problem we have

`D=12 ft\\ r=(D/2)=12/2=6ft\\ h=15 ft`

Substitute in the formula above

`V=(1)/(3)*\pi*6^(2)*15`

`V=180*\pi\ ft^(3)`

`V=565.49\ ft^(3)`

therefore

the answer is

the volume of the cone is
`180*\pi\ ft^(3)` or
`565.49\ ft^(3)`
