Question

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 14.3 ft and a base with a diameter of 17.2 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the volume of a right circular cone is,

V = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

Here r = radius of the circular base

h = height of the cone

Now we put the values in the given formula

Volume = $\frac{1}{3}\pi (8.6)^2(14.3)$  [ radius = $\frac{17.2}{2}=8.6$ ]

             = $\frac{1057.628\pi }{3}$

             = 1107.55

             ≈ 1107.6 cubic feet

Therefore, volume of the given cone is 1107.6 cubic feet.
