Question

Match the formulas for volume and calculate the volumes of the sphere, cylinder, and cone shown below. Each shape has a radius of 2.5 and the cylinder and cone have a height of 4.

options for each drop down box [choose]:
Sphere - volume measure
Sphere - volume formula
Cone - volume formula
Cone - volume measure
Cylinder - volume measure
Cylinder - volume formula
None of these options

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere: 4/3 π r³

4/3 (3.14) (2.5)³ =

4/3 (3.14) (15.625) = 65.42 units³

Volume of a cylinder = π r² h

(3.14) (2.5)² (4)

(3.14) (6.25)(4) = 78.5 units²

Volume of a Cone = 1/3 π r² h

(1/3)(3.14)(2.5)²(4) =

(1/3)(3.14)(6.25)(4) = 26.17 units²

Answer 2

The formula for the volume of a cone is ⅓ r2h cubic units, where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cone.The volume of any sphere is 2/3rd of the volume of any cylinder with equivalent radius and height equal to the diameter.The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4⁄3πr³. For a cylinder, the formula is πr²h. A cone is ⅓ the volume of a cylinder, or 1⁄3πr²h

Explanation:

The formula for volume is: Volume = length x width x height
