Question

Order the cones from least volume to greatest volume

Cone A r=5 inches h=6 inches
Cone B r= 7 inches h=4 inches
Cone C r=6 inches h=5 inches

Answer 1

Cone A, Cone C, Cone B

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is V=πr^2h/3 where V represents the volume, r represents the radius, and h represents the height.

That means the volume of cone A would be:

V = π * 5^2 * 6/3

V = π * 25 * 2

V = 50π

And the volume of Cone B would be:

V = π * 7^2 * 4/3

V = π * 49 * 4/3

V = 65.33π (about)

Lastly, the volume of Cone C would be:

V = π * 6^2 * 5/3

V = π * 36 * 5/3

V = 60π

65.33π > 60π > 50π

Therefore, Cone B has the largest volume, then Cone C, and, lastly, Cone A.
