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 T.
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given:
r = 5 inches
h = 15 inches
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(5^2)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(25)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(375)
V = (1/3)(1177.5)
V ≈ 392.5
Therefore, the flower vase can hold approximately 392.5 cubic inches of water.
