Question

Applying the Procedure

A cone has a volume of 40 cubic inches and is 8 inches tall. Follow the steps to find the base area of the cone.
1. Apply the formula for the volume of a cone:
2. Substitute values for the variables:
V= Bh
40 = 3 B(8)
40 = B
() (40) = 20
3. Simplify the right side:
4. Multiply by the reciprocal:
What is the base area of the cone?
BE

Answer 1

Answer: 15 bc I got is right on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

15 Square Inches

Explanation:

Volume of the cone=40 cubic inches

Height of the cone=8 Inches

Step 1: Applying the formula for the volume of a cone

Volume of a Cone
`=(1)/(3)\pi r^2 h=(1)/(3) X $Base Area X Height`

Step 2: Substituting values for the variables

`40=(1)/(3) X $Base Area X 8`

Step 3: Simplifying the right side

`40=(8)/(3) X $Base Area`

Step 4: Multiplying by the reciprocal

`40X(3)/(8)=(8)/(3) X(3)/(8) X $Base Area\\`

Therefore, Base Area of the Cone=15 Square Inches
