Question

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a radius of 15 cm and a height of 4 cm? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth and include units

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of a cone $=942.86cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the radius of a cone is 15cm and its height is 4cm

That is r=15cm and h=4cm

To find the volume of a cone :

volume of a cone$=\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}$ cubic units

Now substitute the values in the formula we get

volume of a cone$=\frac{(\frac{22}{7}) (15)^2(4)}{3}$  

$=\frac{(\frac{22}{7}) (225)(4)}{3}$

$=\frac{19800}{21}$

$=942.857$

Now round to nearest hundredth

$=942.86$

Therefore Volume of a cone$=942.86cm^3$
