Question

1. Given the radius of the base is 3 inches and the slant height is 5 inches. Determine the volume of the cone.5in3in

Answer 1

Remember that the volume of a cone is:

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

Where:

• r ,is the radius of the base

,

• h, is the height of the cone.

Using this formula and the data given, we'll get that:

`\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)\pi(3^2)(5) \\ \rightarrow V=15\pi \end{gathered}`

The volume of the cone is around 47.12 cubic inches (15 pi)
