Question

Bald-faced hornets have a hive that is approximately cone-shaped, as shown in the image. One such hive has a radius of 15 inches and a height of 20 inches.

The volume of this hive is approximately _[blank]_ π in3.

Enter your answer as the correct value, rounded to the nearest tenth, if necessary, like this: 42.5

Answer 1

5340.7

Explanation:

So the volume of a cone is πr^2 * h / 3

r = 15

h = 20

225π * 20 / 3 ≈ 5340.7

Approximately 5340.7
