Answer:
The exact volume of a cone is 10 yd³.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of cone (h) is 6 yd and base (b) is 5 yd.
Now, to get the volume we need to find the radius.
So, to find radius we put the formula of base:
Let the radius be [tex]r[/tex]
Base=[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]b=\pi\times r^{2}[/tex]
[tex]5=\pi\times r^{2}[/tex]
Dividing both sides by π and using square root on both the sides:
[tex]5\div \pi=(\pi \times r^{2}) \div \pi[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{\pi}=r^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{\pi}=r^{2}[/tex]
[tex]r^{2}=\frac{5}{\pi}-----1[/tex]
Now, putting the formula for getting the volume (v) of cone:
Volume = [tex]\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi\times r^{2}\times \frac{6}{3}[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi\times r^{2}\times 2[/tex]
Substituting the value of [tex]r^2[/tex] from equation (1), we get:
[tex]v=\pi\times \frac{5}{\pi}\times 2[/tex]
[tex]v=10[/tex] yd³
Volume of cone is 10 yd³
Therefore, the exact volume of a cone is 10 yd³.
