Question

Marta bought a paperweight in the shape of a cone. The radius was 10 centimeters and the height 9 centimeters. Find the volume. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The volume of the paper weight is 942.8 cubic cm.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Dimensions of paperweight :

Radius, r = 10 cm

Height,h = 9 cm

Volume of paper weight = Volume of cone

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

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

Putting values, we get,

`V = (1)/(3)* (22)/(7)* (10)^2* 9\\\\V = 942.8\text{ cubic cm}`

Thus, the volume of the paper weight is 942.8 cubic cm.
