Using the formula shown above for the volume of a cone, find the volume of the figure to the nearest whole cubic unit.
image shows a cone with the base having a radius of 5 and the cone having the height of 9.
_ cubic centimeters
To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:
V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h
Where:
V = volume
π ≈ 3.14159
r = radius
h = height
In this case, the radius (r) is 5 and the height (h) is 9.
V = (1/3) * 3.14159 * 5^2 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14159 * 25 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14159 * 225
V = (1/3) * 706.85775
V ≈ 235.619 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 236 cubic centimeters.
