Question

Trying to find volume of a right circular cone.

Answer 1

Volume of the cone is 117.5 π ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral area of the cone = πrs

s is the slant height = 15 ft

From the above formula, we can find the radius as, 5 ft.

Volume of the cone = π r² h/3

s = √ (5²+ h²)

Squaring on both sides, we will get,

s² = 15² = (5² + h²)

 15² - 5² = h²

225 - 25 = 200 = h²

h = √200 = 14.1 ft

Volume = π × 5² × 14.1  / 3 = 117.5 π ft³
