Question

Kendra is filling cone shaped baskets each with a height of 20 inches and radius of 6 inches to use as table decorations.Part Ain terms of pie, what is the exact volume of each cone shaped basket?

Answer 1

height = 20 inches

radius of the cone = 6 inches

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} \text{volume}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \text{volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times6^2\times20 \\ \text{volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times36\times20 \\ \text{volume}=\frac{720\pi}{3} \\ \text{volume}=240\pi^{}inches^3 \end{gathered}$
