Question
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.
To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula V = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
In this case, the radius (r) is 5 cm and the height (h) is 9 cm.
Plugging in the values, we get:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 5^2 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 25 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 225
V = (1/3) * 706.5
V = 235.5 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the cone is 235.5 cubic centimeters.
