A quarry shaped like a cone has a height of 42 ft and a diameter of 48 ft. What is the volume of the quarry? Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer in hundredths. ft3

OpenStudy (mrnood):

the volume of a cone is pi * r^2 *h/3 in this case r= 24 and h= 48 put those numbers into the equation and calculate the answer

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):

28938.24 is this it

OpenStudy (mrnood):

Yes

OpenStudy (mrnood):

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):
