Exercise 20 Page 603

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

To find the volume, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone.
Here, is the radius and is the height of the cone. We already know that the height of the cone is inches. To find we can divide the diameter by
Evaluate right-hand side
The radius of the base is inches. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.
Evaluate right-hand side
The volume of the cone is about cubic inches.
