Question

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 17.5 ft and a base with a diameter of 6.1 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

Answer:
volume of cone = 170.5 ft³

Explanation:
The volume of the right circular cone can be calculated as follows:
volume = $\frac{1}{3} * \pi *r^2 *h$

We are given that:
diameter = 6.1 ft.......> This means that: radius (r) = 6.1 / 2 = 3.05 ft
height (h) = 17.5 ft

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the volume as follows:
volume = $\frac{1}{3} * \pi *(3.05)^2*17.5$

volume = 170.477 which is approximately 170.5 ft³

Hope this helps :)
