The cone formed by the slice of pizza measures 5 in tall and has a diameter of 3 in.
How many cubic inches of fillings can the cone hold?
Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

11.8

Explanation:

I took the test

(P.S. if you put 11.80 you'll get it wrong!!!!

Answer 2

Given:
Cone-shaped pizza with a height of 5 inches and diameter of 3 inches.

To get the cubic inches of fillings that the cone can hold, we need to solve for its volume.

Volume of a cone = π r² h/3
π = 3.14
r = d/2 = 3inches/2 = 1.5 inches

V = 3.14 * (1.5)² * 5/3
V = 3.14 * 2.25 in² * 1.67 in
V = 11.798 or 11.80 in³

The cone can hold 11.80 cubic inches of fillings.
