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
.(1 point)
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values, we have V = (1/3)3.14(5^2)(15).
Evaluating the expression, we have V = (1/3)3.14(25)(15) = (1/3)(786.5) = 262.17.
Therefore, the flower vase can hold approximately 262.17 cubic inches of water.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values, we have V = (1/3)3.14(5^2)(15).
Simplifying, we have V = (1/3)3.14(25)(15) = (1/3)(3.14)(375) = approximately 392.5 cubic inches.
Therefore, the flower vase can hold approximately 392.5 cubic inches of water.
