Question

The triathletes were offered water as they rode by the volunteer station. The volunteers handed them cones with the dimensions shown. If each triathlete sloshed 1/3 of the water out before they drank it, how many cubic cm of water did they slosh out? Round to the nearest tenth. (PLEASE ANSWER)

Answer 1

Considering the volume of the cone, it is found that each triathlete sloshed out 9.5 cm³ of water.

What is the volume of a cone?

The volume of a cone of radius r and height h is given by:

V = 1/3 x r² x h

In this problem, the radius and the height are given as follows:

r = 3.5 cm, h = 7 cm.

Hence the total volume is:

V = 1/3 x 3.5² x 7 = 28.6 cm³

The triathletes sloshed out 1/3 of that, hence:

1/3 x 28.6 = 9.5 cm³.
