Answer:
1583362.7 termites
Explanation:
A conical termite mound has a height of 1.4m and a base of radius 60cm if there are three termites per cubic centimeter, how many termites inhabit the mound
The formula for the volume of a cone
= πr²h/3
Radius = r = 60cm
Height = h = 1.4 m
Converting to centimeters.=
1m = 100cm
1.4m = x
x = 1.4 × 100cm = 140 cm
Volume of the cone = π × 60² × 140/3
527787.5658 cm³
From the above question
1cm³ = 3 termites
527787.5658 cm³ = x
Cross Multiply
x = 3 × 527787.5658
x = 1583362.6974 termites
Approximately.= 1583362.7 termites
