Question

A)Chris and Alex Were Building a sand Castle. They Decided to make it into a cone shape. After some time, the diameter of the the sand shaped cone was 12in and the height was 7in. What is the exact volume of the sand cone?
B) the kids kept adding sand, ten minutes later the volume of the sand cone had increased by 30%. what is the exact volume of the sand cone now?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) 84π | B.) 546π/5

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

V(Cone) = πr²(h/3) where r = radius and h = height.

r = d/2 where d = diameter.

r = 12/2 = 6

V(Cone) = π(6)²(7/3) = π(36)(7/3) = 84π

B.)

84π · 0.3 = 126π/5

84π + 126π/5 = 546π/5
