Question

A gas container in the shape of a cone has a height of 12 inches and a maximum diameter of 8 inches. When the container is filled to three-quarters of its height, what is the volume of the gas in the container, to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.

Answer 1

Answer:

150.9 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of he gas = volume of a cone x 3/4

Volume of a cone 1/3(nr^2h)

n = 22/7

r = radius  

h = height

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

8/2 = 4 inches

1/3 (22/7 x 4^2 x 12) = 201.142857 in^3

volume of the gas = 3/4 x 201.142857 in^3 = 150.9 in^3

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
