Question

Directions: Solve each volume problem using the information given. Use 3.14 for pi and label your answer with the appropriate units.
1.) The school cheer leading team uses megaphones in their routines. Each megaphone is a cone. The radius of the megaphone is 5.1 inches and the height of the megaphone is 19.3 inches. What is the volume of the megaphone?





2.) You and your friends buy ice cream cones at the local ice cream shop. The radius of the ice cream cone is 44 millimeters and the volume of the ice cream cone is 356,456.2136 cubic millimeters. What is the height of the ice cream cone?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 525.42 inches^3

B. 175.91 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Here we are asked to calculate the volume of the cone given the radius and the height of the cone.

Mathematically, the volume of the cone can be calculated using the formula below;

V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h

where r is the radius which is 5.1 inches and h is the height of the megaphone = 19.3 inches

Plugging these values, we have;

V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 5.1^2 * 19.3 = 525.42 inches^3

b. Here we are tasked with calculating the height given the value of the volume and the radius.

mathematically, the formula to use is

V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h

where V = 356,456.2136 cubic millimeter and r is 44mm

plugging these values we have

356,456.2136 = 1/3 * 3.14 * 44^2 * h

h =( 1,069,368.6408)/6,079.04

h = 175.91 mm
