Answer:

63.8 in

Explanation:

the formula of te volume of the cone is : πr²h/3

the height of te cone is the height of the tip

V=π(1.25)² * 3/3

V1=4.91( rounded to the nearest hundredth)

volume of the cylinder =πr²h ( the height of cylinder=25-3=23)

V2=π(1.25)²*12

V2=58.90

V1+V2=4.91 +58.90=63.81 ≅63.8

Answer:

a) 63.8 in³

Explanation:

so the cylinder is 12 inches high

πr²h = π(1.25)²(12) = 58.90 in³

cone is 3 inches high

1/3πr²h = = 1/3π(1.25)²(3) = 4.91 in³

58.90 + 4.91 = 63.81 in³
