A hanging flower vase is in the shape of a cone with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 15 inches. What volume of water can the flower vase hold? Use 3.14 for π
The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Substituting the given values, we get:
Vcone = (1/3)(3.14)(5^2)(15)
Vcone = (1/3)(3.14)(25)(15)
Vcone = 3.14(25)(5)
Vcone = 3.14(125)
Vcone = 392.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the flower vase can hold 392.5 cubic inches of water.
