OpenStudy (amistre64):

volume of a cone is 1/3 of its representative cylindar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how would I set up my equation?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i would first determine the volume of the cylindar with the given base and height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the formula for that?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you should have it in your material. and it really is plastered all over the internet if need be.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the concept is, area of the base, times the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so the volume of the cylinder is 2488.1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so the cone is just 1/3 of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 829.4?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, make sure you are allowed an estimation and not an exact result
