What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 12 in. and radius of 9 in.? Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and rexpress your final answer to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the equation of cone's volume ? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you have to memorize this equation : \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } * π * r^2 * h\] this is the cone's volume you simply plug each value you have been given in the problem and you will easily get the answer Let me know if you got it or if you want me to show you how to answer step by step :)

how to answer step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"height of 12 in. and radius of 9 in. Use 3.14 to approximate pi" Simply substitute by each value in the equation : h>> height r >> radius π >> pi So the equation will be like that : \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } * 3.41 * 9^2 * 12\] which is : 1104.84 in^3 Let me know if you got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um.. I don't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really understand
