A hose dispenses 1750 cm3 of water every minute into a cone with a radius of 58 cm and a height of 150 cm. How long will it take to fill the cone? Use 3.14 to approximate pi and round your answer to the nearest whole number. min

You need to find the volume of the cone. Do you know the formula for the volume of a cone?

no lol

i just need the answer

It's against OS policy to give answers. you are here to learn, not to cheat. I can guide you, though. The formula for the volume of a cone is \(\Large V = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\) In your problem, r, the radius, is 58 cm, and h, the height, is 150 cm. Use those dimensions, along with pi = 3.14, in the formula above to find the volume of the cone. Then divide the volume of the cone by 1750 cm^3/min to find the number of minutes it takes to fill the cone.
