@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

lets find the volume of the cone first \(\pi r^2\dfrac{h}{3}\) r is 3 h is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess that is 84.78

OpenStudy (gorv):

ok first divide it in two part

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

oh it looks like they want is to leave it in terms of pi by looking at the answers

OpenStudy (gorv):

one is cone and other in cylinder

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

the the first one would be 27\(\pi\) actually

OpenStudy (gorv):

how do u calculate the volume of cone ??

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

volume of a cylinder is \(\pi r^2h\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess so i was wrong ?

OpenStudy (gorv):

and cone??

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

no you were right you just went 1 step further than they wanted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess so after the 1st step , whats the next ?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

did you see the formula i gave you for cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess no i didnt

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

\(\pi r^2h\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

we already know that r=3 from the cone and they tell us that the height is 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be 282.6

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

dont multiply by \(\pi\) just 10*9 which leave 90\(\pi\) then add 90\(\pi\) and 27\(\pi\) and you have your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see . thanks @sleepyjess
