Exercise 29 Page 604

Use the formula for the volume of a cone.

Approximately 340.3 cm^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 13 centimeters. The radius of the base is 5 centimeters. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume.

V=1/3Ï€ r^2 h
V=1/3Ï€ ( 5)^2 ( 13)
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
V=1/3Ï€(25)(13)
V=1/3Ï€(325)
V=1/3(325Ï€)
V=325Ï€/3
V=340.339204...
V≈ 340.3

The volume of the cone is 340.3 cubic centimeters.
