Question

how do you find volume of an oblique cone?

Answer 1

if you know integration you can try that.

Answer 2

lol - i don't know integration...

Answer 3

google a formula then

Answer 4

the formula for volume of an oblique cone is still the same if it were a right cone...
volume = (1/3) (area of base) (height)

Answer 5

how would you account for the tilt?

Answer 6

so base times height times .33?

Answer 7

i'm doing something wrong because my answer isnt anywhere close to my multiple choice answers

Answer 8

What is the original problem?

Answer 9

what are the dimensions (ie radius and height)?

Answer 10

base is 15 and height is 25

Answer 11

15 is the radius or diameter?

Answer 12

• 2,208.9 in3
• 1,472.6 in3
• 196.3 in3
• 4,417.9 in3

those are my options...

Answer 13

radius

Answer 14

alright, thank you

Answer 15

one moment

Answer 16

hmm not getting the correct answer if 15 is the radius, so it has to be the diameter, one more sec

Answer 17

you're correct jim... 15 is the diameter so 7.5 is the radius.

Answer 18

Area of base:

A = pi*r^2

A = pi*7.5^2

A = pi*56.25

A = 56.25pi

A = 56.25(3.14159)

A = 176.7144375


So the area of the base (the circle) is approximately 176.7144375 sq inches


----------------------------------------

Volume of any cone

V = (Area of base*Height)/3


V = (176.7144375*25)/3


V = 4417.8609375/3


V = 1472.6203125



So the volume is approximately 1472.6203125 cubic inches.

Answer 19

Note: Due to round off error and how accurate you make pi, the answer will vary slightly.

Answer 20

i see. basically i was trying to figure it out while forgetting that the bottom was a circle. thank you so much

Answer 21

sure thing
