Question

Sid is packing crushed ice into a cone-shaped cup. The cone has a height of 5 in. Its base has a diameter of 4 in. What is the volume of the cone?

Answer 1

Cone Volume = (PI * radius ^2 * height) / 3 
Cone Volume = (PI * 2^2 * 5) /3
Cone Volume = (PI * 20) / 3 
Cone Volume = 20.9439510239 cubic inches

Answer 2

Answer:

Volume of cone  =  20.94  in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The cone has a height of 5 in. Its base has a diameter of 4 in.

To find :  What is the volume of the cone?

Solution : We have given

Height of cone = 5 in.

Diameter = 4 in.

Radius = 2 in.

Volume of cone  = $pi * radius^{2} * \frac{h}{3}$.

Volume of cone  =  $3.14 * (2)^{2} * \frac{5}{3}$.

Volume of cone  = 3.14 * 4 * 1.33 in³.

Volume of cone   =  20.94  in³.

Therefore, Volume of cone  =    20.94  in³.
