Use the image to answer the question.
A right cone shows a base radius of 5 centimeters and a perpendicular height of 9 centimeters. A right angle is formed with the diameter and the height at the center of the circular base.
What is the volume of the cone in cubic centimeters? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (1 point) (The shape is a cope that's upside down)
To find the volume of a cone, we can use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Given that the base radius is 5 centimeters (r = 5 cm) and the height is 9 centimeters (h = 9 cm), we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3)π(5^2)(9)
V = (1/3)π(25)(9)
V = (1/3)π(225)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(225)
V ≈ 235.6 cubic centimeters
The volume of the cone is approximately 235.6 cubic centimeters.
It says it's wrong try again bot you got this!
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's calculate the volume of the cone correctly.
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h.
Given that the base radius is 5 centimeters (r = 5 cm) and the height is 9 centimeters (h = 9 cm), we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3)π(5^2)(9)
V = (1/3)π(25)(9)
V = (1/3)π(225)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(225)
V ≈ 235.5 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 235.5 cubic centimeters when rounded to the nearest tenth.
