Answer:
The volume of the cone is approximately 453.0 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone is one third that of a cylinder with the same height and radius. That gives us 1/3 πr²h, where r is radius and h is height.
However, we are not given the height of the cone, but the side length. We can work out the height using the Pythagorean theorem, as we have a right triangle with the height, base radius, and length. You may recall that the Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of it's other two sides:
So we can find the height of the cone with that:
Now that we have the cone's height, we can solve for its volume:
BO is double that of DO. In other words, BO is two times longer than DO. The answer is choice B
For example, if DO were 3 units long, then BO would be 6 units long (2*3 = 6). This works because the triangles DCO and BAO are similar triangles. The corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion to one another. The larger triangle (BAO) has sides that are twice as long as the smaller triangle's (DCO) corresponding sides.
Side note: we can prove the triangles to be similar using the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem. The first pair of angles are the vertical angles DOC and BOA which are congruent to each other.The second pair is CDB and ABD which are congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem.
