Avery, Anika, and Daniel are working on a school project to build a model of a cone. They need to find the volume of the cone for their project. They decide to use 3.14 for pi and round their answer to the nearest tenth. What is the volume of the cone they are building?
(Enter only a number; do not include a label on your answer.)
The radius is 3 and the height is 6
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Given that the radius is 3 and the height is 6, we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(3^2)(6)
Simplifying the expression:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(9)(6)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(54)
V = (3.14)(54)/3
V = 169.56/3
V ≈ 56.52
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cone is approximately 56.5.
