Answer:
D). 659.73 in^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone = 1/3 π r^2 h
The volume of the large cone = 1/3 π 6^2 * 20 in^3.
The plane passes through the midpoint of the cone so the height of the small cone = 10 in
and the radius of this cone is 1/2 * 6 = 3 in.
The volume of the small cone = 1/3 π 3^2 * 10 in^3.
So the volume of the blue section
= 1/3 π 6^2 * 20 - 1/3 π 3^2 * 10
= 659.73 in^3.
