Volume of cone \[\Large V = \frac{1}{3}*\pi*r^2*h\] V = volume pi = 3.14 approximately r = radius h = height

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

radius = diameter/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 what would be the radius?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you take the diameter and cut it in half to get the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so its 24

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3.14*24^2*42
