Question

A cone-shaped pile of sawdust has a base diameter of 38 feet, and is 17 feet tall. Find the volume of the pile. ft 3 Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

To find the volume, we will use the formula;

v= 1/3 πr² h

diameter = 38

r = 38/2 = 19

h=17

π = 3.14

v = 1/3 (3.14) (19)²(17)

v= 6423.4 ft³
