Can someone please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 6 mm and radius of 18 mm? Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2034.7 but I'm not sure it's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same for this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The height of a cone-shaped statue is 9 ft, and the diameter is 12 ft. What is the volume of the statue? Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um hi its me again sorry about what i posted i was in the wrong question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 56.50 on the second one, but I'm not sure it's right

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

The equation for the first question is (pi) (r)^2 (h/3) In other words 3.14*(18)^2*(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so was I right?

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Yes your answer would be 2034.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, the second one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm confused

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Your equation for this would be V= 1/3 pi*r^2*h

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

\[V = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \pi r ^{2}h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

I thought the equation would be easier to see lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was I wrong on the second one?

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Yes you were right the answer would be 56.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one confuses me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the approximate volume of the cone? Use 3.14 for π.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 509 cm3

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Use the exact same equation from question 1

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

3.14*(9)^2*(6/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang, 508. 68 isn't an option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 509 cm3 B. 339 cm3 C. 57 cm3 D. 1526 cm3

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

3.14*(9)^2*(6/3) 3.14* 81 * 2 254.34*2 = Your answer

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

\[(\pi) (r^2)( \frac{ h }{ 3 })\]

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

That make any sense? \[\pi\]= 3.14 \[r\]= radius \[h\]= height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, a little

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was I wrong?

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

You tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I think A's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since 508 isn't an option, A is close to it

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

What is 254.34 multiplied by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

508

OpenStudy (anonymous):

508.68

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Remember the question asks for an aproximate value, meaning it is not exact (round up)

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

Yes so your answer was correct. A = 509cm3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, thank you so much :)

OpenStudy (jacobbenvenutty):

No problem ;)
