Question

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.3 ft and a base with a diameter of 17.2 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

146.6 ft3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.

Explanation:

Formula to get the volume of a right circular cone is,

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

Here r = radius of the circular base

h = height of the cone

Now we put the values in the given formula

Volume =
`(1)/(3)\pi (8.6)^2(14.3)` [ radius =
`(17.2)/(2)=8.6` ]

=
`(1057.628\pi )/(3)`

= 1107.55

≈ 1107.6 cubic feet

Therefore, volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.
