Question

bye

Answer 1

a cone-shaped cup
23 cubic inches
those are clues we are talking about volume. Do you have a formula for finding the volume of a cone ?

Answer 2

ok. now in your formula which "parts" do we know? any ideas (based on what is in the question) ?

Answer 3

ok r=1
let's not worry about how to use it (yet).

next, do we know V or h ?

Answer 4

ok
r=1
V=23
V= 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h (I put in * to show the multiplies, usually we don't bother)
replace V with 23
replace r with 1

by the way r^2 means \( r^2= r\cdot r\)

Answer 5

also, 3.14 for pi, so we should also replace pi with 3.14

Answer 6

too many things off with that. Start with the formula
V= 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

erase the V, put in 23.
erase "pi", put in 3.14
erase the r, put in 1
only that, nothing else.
what do you get ?

Answer 7

we don't expect a number yet. we want the formula with V, pi and r replaced with numbers. can you do that ?

Answer 8

can you simplify 1/3 * 3.14 ?

Answer 9

you get 1/3 * 3.14 = (about) 1.0467)
so
23= 1.0467 h
to solve for h , divide both sides by that number
what do you get ?
