Question

CONFUSED!

Answer 1

A cone-shaped tent has a diameter of 12 ft and a height of 6 ft.

What is the approximate volume of the tent?
Use 3.14 to approximate pi, and express your final answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 2

IS it 226.2 or 266.1?

Answer 3

226.2

Answer 4

are you sure?

Answer 5

yes I'm in 6th grade but I'm a math nerd I'm taking a highschool course

Answer 6

how do we determine the volume?

Answer 7

id suggest we work the process instead of just 'relying' upon someones acceptance or rejection of it

Answer 8

V=πr2h/3

Answer 9

good

height is given whats the radius?

Answer 10

the radius is half of the diameter so its 6

Answer 11

then 3.14 * 6^2 * 6/3

36 * 3 is 72

72*3.14 is going to be about 226 so now we have proof that back it up :)

Answer 12

but it says to round to the nearest tenth and I keep getting 226.1 or 226.2

Answer 13

so your 266 was a typo
