Question

Gretchen made a paper cone to hold a gift for a friend. The paper cone was 15 inches high and had a radius of 2 inches. Find the volume of the paper cone to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

91.67inch^3

Explanation:

The volume of a cone can be calculated using below formula

V= 1/3 π.r^2h

Where h= height of the cone

r= radius of the cone

V= volume of the cone

Given :

height= 11 inches

radius= 5 inches

π= 3.14

Then substitute into the formula we have

V= 1/3 × 3.14× 5^2 ×11

V= 91.67inch^3

Therefore volume of the cone is 91.67inch^3
