Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 2.6 in and a base with a diameter of 5.7 in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Hi there! I'd love to help you out.

To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula:

V = πr²(h/3) where r is the radius and h is our height.

Now, we aren't given the radius but rather the diameter. To find the radius from the diameter, we just divide by 2:

r = 5.7 / 2 = 2.85

Now we can just plug everything into our formula for volume:

V = π (2.85)² (2.6/3)

V = 22.1 in³

I hope this explanation was thorough and answered all of your questions. If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
