Question

A cone shaped tent has a height of 7.5 feet and a diameter of 12feet. What’s the volume of the cone?

Answer 1

Answer:

282.6 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cone is found using the volume formula for a cone $V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$.

Substitute h=7.5 and r = 6 (since the radius is half the diameter of 12).

$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (6^2)(7.5)\\V=\frac{1}{3}\pi *36*7.5\\V = \frac{847.8}{3}\\V= 282.6$
