Question

1The formula for the volume of a cone is V=Bh. Solve the formula for B. Use this formula to find the area of the baseof the cone if the volume, V, is 18 cubic centimeters and the height, h, is 3 centimeters.

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:

• Formula: V=B*h

,

• V = 18cm³

,

• h = 3

Let's replace these values in the formula to find B:

$\begin{gathered} V=B\cdot h \\ 18=B\cdot3 \\ \frac{18}{3}=B \\ \\ \boxed{6=B} \end{gathered}$

The area of the base is 6cm².
