Question

The diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units. The height measure 6 units. What is the volume of the cone?

Answer 1

Answer:

The  volume of the cone is  100.48 units³ approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 8 unit   and height of 6 units, we will follow the steps below;

first, write down the formula for calculating the volume of a cone

v= πr²$\frac{h}{3}$

where v is the volume of the cone

r is the radius    and h is the height of the cone

from the question given, diameter d = 8 units  but d=2r    which implies  r=d/2

r=8/2 = 4 units

Hence r= 4 units

height = 6 units

π is a constant and is ≈ 3.14

we can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

v= πr²$\frac{h}{3}$

v ≈ 3.14 × 4² × 6/3

v  ≈ 3.14 × 16 × 2

v ≈ 100 .48 units³

Therefore the  volume of the cone is  100 .48 units³ approximately
