he volume of the cone is 24 cubic units. Find the value of r in the figure. Leave the answer in simplest form.
V = 1/3 * π * r² * h
We are given the volume of the cone and the height of the cone. Filling in for those variables, we get the following ....
24 = 1/3 * π * r² * 4 The next task is to solve for r.
all i seen is black diamonds with question marks
im seeing *
When those black diamonds come up, refresh the page. Those diamonds are one of many glitches on this website.
oh i see it now
I ran the equation to be solved through Wolfram Alpha and got r = 2.39 which is 2.4 to the nearest tenth. See what you get. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=24+%3D+1%2F3+*+%CF%80+*+r%C2%B2+*+4
@desfields901 What did you get?
Did you get this: r = 2.39 or r = 4
what do i do on the link
The link is just to show you that there are websites that can solve equations. Just for awareness. You may want to use it. I always double-check whatever the website calculates.
no i mean when i go on do i click on something
Yes, you could do that later. Let's finish this problem.
Did you get r = 2.4 units.
no i meant you aid what answer did i get i mean what do i do to get an answer
said*
Solve this for r to get answer: 24 = 1/3 * π * r² * 4
Do you see r = 2.4 units among your answer options?
no
What are the answer options? You can post them and then delete them.
a.square root 3 b.2 square root 3 c.square root 2 d.3 square root 2
Two things: (1) Are you sure that those answers go with this problem? (2) Look at the posted problem and see if you typed it in correctly. Was the volume supposed to be 24 π
yes
24 pi is the volume
The original post stated "he volume of the cone is 24 cubic units." with no mention of pi. That is why the answer we got is wrong.
24* π = 1/3 * π * r² * 4
sorry it wouldnt let me copy and paste the pi i forgot to mention that
In those cases, you write "pi" for the symbol.
The revised answer is: r = 3√2
thanks
You're welcome. Click on Open, write the next question, and move it to the closed section.
that was the last one of volumes and pyramids and cones
Okay, what is next? @desfields901
new post then close it ?
Correct, same as before.
