Question

Retchen made a paper cone to hold a gift for a friend. The paper cone was 12 inches high and had a radius of 5 inches. Find the volume of the paper cone to the nearest tenth. Use 3. 14 for π. The volume of the paper cone is about

Answer 1

the volume of the paper cone is approximately 3768 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the paper cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is given by:

V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h

where V represents the volume, π is a constant (approximately 3.14), r is the radius of the cone's base, and h is the height of the cone.

In this case, the radius (r) is 5 inches, and the height (h) is 12 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 5^2 * 12

V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 25 * 12

V ≈ 314 * 12

V ≈ 3768
