Question

cone shaped storage container holds a photographic chemical. if the container is 60 cm wide and 20 cm high how many liters does it hold if 1 liter equal 1000cm3

Answer 1

To find the volume of the cone-shaped storage container in cm^3, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

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

where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Since the container is 60 cm wide, the radius is half of that, or 30 cm. And the height of the container is 20 cm. So we can substitute these values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * pi * (30 cm)^2 * (20 cm)

V = 18,849.56 cm^3

To convert cm^3 to liters, we divide by 1000:

V = 18,849.56 cm^3 / 1000 = 18.85 liters

Therefore, the container holds 18.85 liters of photographic chemical.
