If R = 5 cm and H = 8 cm, what is the approximate volume of the cone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of a cone = (1/3)*pi*(R^2)*H

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay im kind of confused can you tell me the steps i would take?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R is the radius of the base circle of the cone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case your radius is 5 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and H is the height from the base to the tip

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case H is 8 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Volume of a cone = (π × r2 × h)/ 3 so: r = 5 h = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Volume of a cone = (π × r^2 × h)/ 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (3.14X5X8)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be approximately 209.440 cm^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i get it now!! thanks hunnnn :)
