Question

Find the volume of a cone with a base radius of 5 yd and a height of 9 yd.Use the value 3.14 for it, and do not do any rounding.Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Solution

The volume of a cone is given as

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \\ \text{ where r is the radius} \\ \\ \text{ and h is the height} \end{gathered}$

Given

r = 5 yd

h = 9 yd

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times3.14\times5^2\times9=235.5\text{ yd}^3$

Therefore, the Volume is 235.5 yard cubic
