Question

A new restaurant specializes in making pizza cones. A large slice of pizza is made into a cone shape and then filled with cheese, meat, or vegetables. 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. Enter your answer in the box as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. in3

Answer 1

11.8

Explanation:

(1)/(3)*1.5^(2)*5*3.14 = 11.8

Have to remember the 1/3 during the equation.

Answer 2

Cone volume formula = pi r^2 (h/3)

5 in= height (h)
3 in = diameter
diameter = 2r
3/2 =radius = 1.5

pi (1.5)^2 (5/3)

3.14 (2.25) (1.67)

V = 11.78in^2
