Question

Applying the Procedure

Answer 1

Answer:

15 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cone=40 cubic inches

Height of the cone=8 Inches

Step 1: Applying the formula for the volume of a cone

Volume of a Cone$=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{3} X Base Area X Height$

Step 2: Substituting values for the variables

$40=\frac{1}{3} X Base Area X 8$

Step 3: Simplifying the right side

$40=\frac{8}{3} X Base Area$

Step 4: Multiplying by the reciprocal

$40X\frac{3}{8}=\frac{8}{3} X\frac{3}{8} X Base Area$

Therefore, Base Area of the Cone=15 Square Inches
