Question

Answer the two questions below. Show ALL of your work.(a) John and Stan were building a sand castle. They decided to make it into a cone shape. After some time, the diameter of the sand shaped cone was 12 in and the height was 7in. What is the exact volume of the sand cone? (Show your work. Remember you can draw a picture to help you solve the problem.)
(b) The boys kept adding sand, and ten minutes later the volume of the sand cone had increased by 30%. What is the exact volume of the sand cone now? (Show your work. Remember you can draw a picture to help you solve the problem.)

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 84π b) 109.2π

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find this is v=πr^2h/3

r=d/2. so the radius (r) is 6 because you have to divide the diameter (12) by 2. and the height is 7. so, 6^2=36 and 36x7=252.

252/3=84

and because the question is asking for the EXACT value, you need to just put the pi symbol next to it. Final answer for a is 84π

B) you need to find 30% of 84, which is 25.2 and add it to 84, and you will get 109.2! Final answer is 109.2π.
