Do you know how to find the volume of a cone?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If not, then you would use this formula V = (1/3)*pi*r^2*h where r = radius h = height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm.. so 1/3 * 3.14 * 5^2 * h?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

replace h with 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 * 3.14 * 5^2 * 16 so then what

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then use a calculator to evaluate that if you don't have a calculator, you can type that expression into google to get this http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=1%2F3+*+3.14+*+5^2+*+16&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_enUS420US420&ie=UTF-8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

google acts like a basic calculator when you type in math expressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol! yeah i use that one! i just dont know how to type a fraction in it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now repeat the same steps, but do it for brand B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 418.6666666666

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to type fractions, you just use / like you normally would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i do 1/3 * 3.14 * 4^2 * 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wont let me :( It keeps doing the divide sighn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mkay so the largest volume is B! Yeah? :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

check it again, you got 418.6666666666 for brand A and 334.933333333 for brand B

OpenStudy (anonymous):
