Question

The cone of the volcano has a height of 418 meters and a diameter of 434 meters. Find the volume of the cone. Round your answer to the nearest hundred thousand. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

First, we need to find the radius of the cone. The diameter is given as 434 meters, so the radius is half of that:

radius = 434/2 = 217 meters

Next, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values we have:

V = (1/3)π(217)^2(418)

V ≈ 41,796,778.5

Rounding to the nearest hundred thousand, we get:

V ≈ 41,800,000

Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 41,800,000 cubic meters.
