2. Volume of Cones

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 2 Page 601

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

4.8 ft^3

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given cone.

To find the volume, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone. V= 13π 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 3.8 feet. The radius of the base is 1.1 feet. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.

V=1/3π r^2 h

r= 1.1, h= 3.8

V=1/3π ( 1.1)^2 ( 3.8)
