Question

What is the best approximation of the volume of the right cone?

Answer 1

Looks as though you haven't shared either the dimensions of the cone or an illustration of the cone.

The formula for the volume of a cone is  V = (1/3) pi r^2 h, where pi could be rounded off to 3.14, r is the radius of the base of the cone, and h is the height of the cone.

If, for example, the height were h=5 inches and the radius were r = 2.5 inches, then the APPROXIMATE volume of this cone would be 

V = (1/3) (3.14) (2.5)^2 (5) cubic inches, or roughly  3(6)(5)/3, or 30 cubic inches.  (This is only an example, so this answer does not match any of the possible answer choices given.).
