Question

A funnel is shaped like a cone and is 4.5 inches high and has a diameter of 6 inches. What is the volume of the funnel? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Volume of a cone = 1/3Bh
Area of the Base = Pi(3)
`^(2)` = Pi(9)
V = 1/3(Pi * 9)(4.5)
Answer = 42.39 inches cubed

Answer 2

42.39 cubic inches

Explanation:

A funnel is shaped like a cone and is 4.5 inches high and has a diameter of 6 inches.

Radius =
`6/2=3` inches.

We have the height as 4.5 inches and radius as 3 inches.

The volume will be given by :

`\pi r^(2) (h)/(3)`

Putting the values we get;

`3.14*(3)^(2) *(4.5)/(3)`

= 42.39 cubic inches
