Answer:

(a) 22896π cm³

(b) 71929.9 cm³

Explanation:

You want the volume of a cone with radius 36 cm and height 53 cm.

(a) Exact volume

The volume of a cone is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3πr²h

Using the given radius and height, the volume is ...

V = 1/3(π)(36 cm)²(53 cm) = 22896π cm³

The exact volume of the cone is 22896π cm³.

(b) Approximate volume

Using 3.14159265 for π, we find the approximate volume to be ...

22896(3.14159265) ≈ 71929.9 . . . cm³

The approximate volume of the cone is 71929.9 cm³.

__

Additional comment

The volume rounded to tenths has 6 significant figures. For this precision, a value of pi with at least 6 significant figures is required. (3.14 will not do.)
