Question

The height of a cone is twice the radius of its base.

What expression represents the volume of the cone, in

cubic units?

23x3

49X3

Answer 1

2/3πx³

Explanation:

Volume of a cone is expressed as;

V = 1/3πx²h ... 1

x is the radius

h is the height of the cone

If the height of a cone is twice the radius of its base, then;

h = 2x ... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

Recall that V = 1/3πx²h

V = 1/3πx²(2x)

V = 2/3πx³

Hence the expression that represents the volume of the cone is 2/3πx³ cubic units
