Exercise 2 Page 600

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

1055.6 mm^3

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given cone.

To find the volume, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone. V= 13Ï€ r^2 h Here, r is the radius and h is the height of the cone. We are given that the height of the cone is 28 milimeters. The radius of the base is 6 milimeters. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.

V=1/3Ï€ r^2 h
V=1/3Ï€ ( 6)^2 ( 28)
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
V=1/3Ï€(36)(28)
V=1/3Ï€(1008)
V=1/3(1008Ï€)
V=1008Ï€/3
V=336Ï€
V=1055.575132...
V≈ 1055.6

The volume of the cone is 1055.6 cubic milimeters.
