Question

Your class built a tepee to use in the school play. the tepee has a diameter of 16 16 feet and a height of 13.5 13.5 feet. what is the volume? use 3.14 3.14 for pi. round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 64 * 13.5 = 904.32 cubic feet.

Explanation:

Volume = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h,

where π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.

Given that the diameter of the tepee is 16 feet, we can calculate the radius (r) by dividing the diameter by 2:

r = 16 / 2 = 8 feet.

Plugging the values into the formula, we have:

Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 8^2 * 13.5.

Calculating this expression:

Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * 64 * 13.5 = 904.32 cubic feet.

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the volume of the tepee is approximately 904 cubic feet.
