Question

A teepee is in the shape of a cone. The teepee is 12.5 feet high, 16 feet wide. Find the volume of air that occupies the teepee, assuming it is empty.

​

Answer 1

837.8 ft²

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone of base radius r and height h is

V = (1/3)(base area)(height), which here is:

V = (1/3)(π·8² ft²)(12.5 ft), or

V = (π/3)(64 ft²)(12.5 ft) = 837.8 ft²
