2. Volume of Cones

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 18 Page 603

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

Approximately 603.2 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 16 feet. The radius of the base is 6 feet. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.

V=1/3π r^2 h

r= 6, h= 16

V=1/3π ( 6)^2 ( 16)
