since the height of the cone is 3 feet?

Answer 7

wow.. u see it very clearly.. good :)

Answer 8

k

Answer 9

so

Answer 10

so.. lets proceed with plugging in numbers in volume formula

Answer 11

the volume of the cylinder is

Answer 12

40 pie

Answer 13

correct !!

Answer 14

and the volume of the cone is approximately 12.5664 ft

Answer 15
