Question

A county has constructed a conical building to store sand. The cone has a height of 195 ft and a diameter of 307 ft. Find the volume of this building to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

Volume of cone=4809055.225ft^3

Explanation:

Height=195ft

Diameter=307ft

Radius=Diameter/2

=153.5ft

Volume of cone=π r^2 h/3

=3.14 (153.5ft)^2 (195ft/3)

=3.14 (23562.25ft^2) (195ft/3)

=3.14 (4594638.75ft^3/3)

=3.14 (1531546.25ft^3)

=4809055.225ft^3
