Question

A cone has a base area of 24 square inches and a height of 8 inches. What is the area of a cross-section of

the cone that is parallel to the base and 3 inches from the vertex?

Answer 1

Answer:Answer:

224 in^3

Explanation:

The foruma appropriate to the calculation of the cone's volume is ...

V = (1/3)Bh

where B represents the area of the base and h represents the height.

For your numbers, this is ...

V = (1/3)·(48 in^2)(14 in) = (16 in^2)(14 in) = 224 in^3
