Answer: Raja needs 150.72 cubic centimeters for each horn.

Explanation:

Since the horns that Raja is making are cone shaped, then we would determine the amount of clay she needs by applying the formula for

determining the volume of a cone is expressed as

Volume = 1/3πr²h

Where

h represents the height of the cone.

r represents the radius of the cone

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Height = 16 centimeters

Diameter = 6 centimeters

Radius = diameter/2 = 6/2 = 3 centimeters

Therefore,

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 3² × 16 = 150.72 cubic centimeters
