sammi's brother again The area of this cylinder's base is one hundred fifty square inches. The height of the cylinder is 6 inches. What is the volume of the cone that has the same base area and height?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area * height

sammixboo (sammixboo):

that is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops no

sammixboo (sammixboo):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's (1/3) area * height. I thought it was a cylinder

sammixboo (sammixboo):

wuld it be 300

sammixboo (sammixboo):

@sourwing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk if you did the math right

Elsa213 (elsa213):

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: V1 = π(r^2)h and πr^2 is the same thing as the base area. Since we're given that that is 150, we can find the radius: πr^2 = 150 r^2 = 150/π r = √(150/π) And we're given that the height is 6, so we don't need to solve anything. The volume of a cone is: V = (π/3)(r^2)h Plugging in r = √(150/π) and h = 6 results in: V = (π/3)(√(150/π)^2)(6) V = (π/3)(150/π)(6) V = 300 So the answer is 300 cubic inches.

@sammixboo ur correct

sammixboo (sammixboo):

ok thnx

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

volume of cone = 1/3 ( volume of cilindrical) ( volume of cilindrical) = base area * hight = 150*6=900 thats it @Elsa213 no need for more calculation

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohhh ohh a cone... ok so |dw:1404772405844:dw|

sammixboo (sammixboo):

V = 1/3*b*h V = 1/3*150*6 V = 1/3*900 V = 300 that is what i put

sammixboo (sammixboo):

?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

ok then

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

tried posting before.but the site is just lagging, as it usually does

sammixboo (sammixboo):

ok

sammixboo (sammixboo):

i am going to let my sister hav her acc back
