A cone shaped container on a farm is used for storing animal feed. The container has a radius of 4 feet and a height of 12 feet. What volume of feed, in cubic feet, can the container store? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for pi. Why is the answer 200.96 and NOT 201.06????
The formula to find the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is pi, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values, we can calculate the volume:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 4^2 * 12
V = 0.3333 * 3.14 * 16 * 12
V = 20.92224
When rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of feed the container can store is 20.92 cubic feet. Therefore, the answer is 20.92 and not 201.06.
