Question

A cone with diameter 5 inches and height 7.5 inches is shown. 7.5 in 5 in Enter the volume of the cone, in cubic inches. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the volume of a cone. To do that we will use the following formula:

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

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height. Since the diameter is twice the radius that means that r = 5/2. Replacing the values we get:

`V=(1)/(3)(\pi((5)/(2)in)^2)(7.5in)`

Solving the operations:

`V=49.09in^3`
