I got 471.24
\[V=(3.14)(5^2)\frac{ 18 }{3 }\]
Yeah I got 471 again
Oh this doesnt include pi :/
Ohhh then what do I do?
Use the formula for volume: \(V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot A\cdot h\)
Because the base of the cone is a circle, A (area) is \(\pi \cdot 5^2\). The height h is 18 cm, so put the numbers in the formula to get the right answer...
Okay one second
My area is 78.5?
How did you do that?
3.14*5^2
Right?
Let's see, we have to calculate the product of: \(\frac{1}{3}\), \(5^2\), \(\pi\) and 18. It is easy to do \(\frac{1}{3}\cdot 18=6\). So now I have \(6\cdot 5^2\cdot \pi=6\cdot 25\cdot \pi=150\pi\). You don't need a calculator, it can be done in the head!
Ohhhhhh
I kept over thinking it
Thanks so much man
Could you help me on another one?
Sorry, have to go. Tomorrow I rise early to go to work...(it's 11.30 PM here).
