Etna*

anonymous · Answer

How do find the volume of Mount Fuji since you only know the slope and the height?

anonymous · Answer

Well you know it it bigger by the numbers in size volume you would have to calculate

anonymous · Answer

But it looks like Mount Etna has smaller numbers.

anonymous · Answer

But by the slope of it the volume goes up higher. Like a cup that is 10 ft high and 3 feet around is smaller than a cup that is 8ft high and 5ft around
