Question

A Storage shed has the shape of an upside down cone. The shed has a volume of 209 cubic meters and is 10 meters wide. To the nearest meter,how tall is the she? Use 3.14 for Pi

Answer 1

Answer:

Height = 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The volume V = 209 cubic meters Diameter = 10 meters

Radius r = 5 metres

How tall is the shed? The question is looking for the height of the cone

Using the formula for volume of a cone.

V = 1/3πr^2h

Where π = 3.14

209 = 1/3 × 3.14 × 5^2 ×h

209 = 3.14/3 × 25h

209 = 78.5h/3

h = 7.99 meters

h = 8 meters

Therefore, the shed is 8 meters tall.
