Which point on the number line represents the approximate volume of a cone with a radius of 3 units and a height of 4 units? Use 3.14 for π.

Answer:

The point closest to the number 40

Explanation:

To find volume of cone:


V=\pi r^(2) (h)/(3)

(but in this case we will be substituting
\pi for it approximation: 3.14)

So our new equation is
V= 3.14r^(2) (h)/(3)

All right, let's get to work now.

  • Following the order of operations our first step would be:
    3^(2) or 3x3 wich is 9
  • Next step would be 3.14x9, which is 28.26
  • After that we would solve
    (4)/(3), which is 1.3 repeating but we can round to the nearest tenth and get 1.3
  • Next we would multiply 28.26 by 1.3 which is 36.73800

We would next round to the nearest whole and our final answer is: 37

Hope this helps and feel free to comment, ask questions, give feedback, and correct me if wrong!

Have a great day! :)
