Question

What is the area of the base of a paper cone, in square inches, with a height of 15 inches and a volume of 900 cubic inches?

Answer 1

180 sq. in.

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a circular cone is V = (πr^2h)/3

So, 900 = (15πr^2)/3

2700 = 15πr^2

180 = πr^2 = area of the circular base
