Exercise 19 Page 603

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

Approximately 402.1cm^3

Practice makes perfect

We are told that a cone has a height of 24 centimeters and a base whose diameter is 8 centimeters. Let's start by drawing it.

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 already know that the height of the cone is 24 centimeters. To find r we can divide the diameter d by 2.

r = d/2

Substitute

d= 8

r = 8/2

CalcQuot

Calculate quotient

r = 4

The radius of the base is 4 centimeters. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.

V=1/3π r^2 h

SubstituteII

r= 4, h= 24

V=1/3π ( 4)^2 ( 24)
