Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.5 m and a base with a radius of 2.2 m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.
To find the volume of a right circular cone, we use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Given that the radius (r) is 2.2 m and the height (h) is 12.5 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3)π(2.2^2)(12.5)
V = (1/3)π(4.84)(12.5)
V = (1/3)(60.5π)
V ≈ 63.4 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the right circular cone is approximately 63.4 cubic meters.
