how Do you solve this ....
What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 3 meters and base radius of 8 meters? Use 3.14

anonymous · Answer

$$1/3 \Pi r ^{2} h$$

anonymous · Answer

Ok that is what i thought , wasnt sure though thank you

anonymous · Answer

sure.

anonymous · Answer

solve it , please so i can see if i got it right ?

anonymous · Answer

why don't you tell me what you got first?

anonymous · Answer

i got 226.08 m3

anonymous · Answer

careful how you say to the third power.  i think the better wording may be 200.96 meters cubed.

anonymous · Answer

true but is that right ?

anonymous · Answer

the reply you deleted had the correct number, just funny wording

anonymous · Answer

the current info has the correct power of three, but the wrong info.

anonymous · Answer

'but the wrong info' should say 'the wrong value'.  sorry

anonymous · Answer

226.08 m cubed

anonymous · Answer

I am not seeing 226.08 as the correct value.

anonymous · Answer

its gotta b right

anonymous · Answer

show me your equation...

anonymous · Answer

8*3=24*3.14=75.36*3=226.08 m cubed

anonymous · Answer

hmm...$$1/3(\Pi)r ^{3}h$$(1/3)x3.14x(8*8)x3

anonymous · Answer

i did exactly what u told me .

anonymous · Answer

where did you get the values for 8*3?

anonymous · Answer

let's take this one step at a time...
what do you see as the radius?

anonymous · Answer

the radius was 8 & the height was 3 which equals 24 & then the pie (3.14) which is 75.36  & then cubed so Another three , which equaled 226.08 meter cubed (my mom said it looked right)

anonymous · Answer

where does the cubed come from?

anonymous · Answer

$$1/3 * \Pi * r ^{2} * h$$$$1/3 * 3.14 * 8^{2} * 3$$ equals...$$1/3 * 3.14 * 64 * 3 = 200.96$$
