Answer 1

There is 2.887 quarts of oil in the funnel

Explanation:

Complete question

A funnel is in the shape of a cone with a radius of 4 inches and a height of

10 inches. The funnel is filled with oil. How many quarts of oil are in the funnel?

Solution

As we know, volume of the cone is given by

`V = (1)/(3) \pi r^2 h`

Here,

V = volume of the cone

r is the radius of the base of the cone

h is the height of the cone

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

`V = (1)/(3) *3.14*4*4*10\\V = 167.467` Cubic inch

As given

1 quarts = 58 cubic inch

Total number of quarts of oil

`(167.467)/(58) \\2.887`

There is 2.887 quarts of oil in the funnel
