A quarry shaped like a cone has a height of 42 ft and a diameter of 47 ft. What is the volume of the quarry? Round your answer to one decimal place and use 3.14 to approximate pi.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Welcome to OpenStudy! Do you know the formula for volume of a cone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont @sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok :) \(V = \pi r^2\dfrac h3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what would it come out to be tho?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

What is the radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry idk this is my older brothers hwrk and i was trying to prove to him im not an idiot but i honestly dont know the qnswer its ok id u cant help me i understand

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

The radius is half of the diameter :0

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

*:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what do i do

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

diameter/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 23.2?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

23.5

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now we have the height as 42, so just substitute those numbers into the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i set that up and put it all together

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

oh wait, first we have to square the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then how is it all set ip once it puts together
