If the diameter of a small red beach ball is 8 inches, then the cone with the same radius and a height of
8 inches would fit into the beach ball ? times and the volume of the cone would be about ? in^3.
answer options: 268, 2/3, 89, 3, 2, 1, 134, 536, or 1/3.
The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the small red beach ball is 8 inches, the radius of the cone would be half of that, so r = 4 inches.
And the height of the cone is given as 8 inches.
Therefore, the volume of the cone would be V = (1/3)π(4)^2(8) = (1/3)π(16)(8) = (1/3)π(128) ≈ 134 cubic inches.
Since the volume of the cone is 134 cubic inches and the diameter of the beach ball is 8 inches, we can fit 1 cone into the beach ball.
Therefore, the answer is 1 and 134.
