Question

An oblique cone has a radius of 5 units and a height of 9 units. What is the approximate volume of the oblique cone? Use π ≈ 3.14 and round to the nearest tenth. A)117.8 cubic units B)141.3 cubic units C)235.5 cubic units D)282.6 cubic units

Answer 1

Option (C) 235.5 cubic units

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Radius (r) = 5 units

Height (h) = 9 units

Pi (π) = 3.14

Volume (V) =..?

The formula for calculating the volume of an oblique cone is the same as the formula for calculating the right cone. The formula is given below:

V = 1/3πr²h

With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the oblique cone as follow:

V = 1/3πr²h

V = 1/3 x 3.14 x 5² x 9

V = 3.14 x 25 x 3

V = 235.5 cubic units.

Therefore, the volume of the oblique cone is 235.5 cubic units.
