Question

Pine cones are not truly cones, but they have an interesting history. Here are a few: The pine cone is the official Maine State Flower, and it is the only state to have a state flower that is not a flower. Pine cones were a dinosaur delicacy. We have pine cones in our brains, sort of. The pineal gland is named for its cone shape. The pineal governs our perception of light and our wake/sleep patterns. What is the volume of this cone?

a) 2721 mm³
b) 103.83 mm³
c) 2850 mm³
d) 48.78 mm³

Answer 1

The volume of a cone cannot be determined without the values for the radius and height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.

Unfortunately, the question does not provide the values for r and h, so we cannot calculate the volume of the specific pine cone mentioned. Therefore, it is not possible to determine which option (a, b, c, or d) is the correct volume measurement for this cone.
