PLEASE HELP! Given a soda can with a volume of 36 and a diameter of 4, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can? (Hint: only enter numerals in the answer blank). (4 points)
In order to find the volume of the cone, you need to solve for the height of the soda can and use that height in the volume for the cone. I found the height for the can to be 2.86 (although that is not accurate at all!) and plugged in that height for the cone and got a volume of 11.97 units cubed.
If you have a cylinder, the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside it is 1/3 the volume of the cylinder.
Vcone=13∗Basearea∗height
Vcyl=Basearea∗height
36/3 is equal to 12
Formula for a Cylinder: \[V = \pi r^2 h\] For a cone: \[V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\]
Since the radius and height of the cone and the cylinder will be the same (since the cone fits perfectly), we can use these equations to get: \[V_{cone} = \frac{1}{3}V_{cylinder}\]
does that make sense
so the answer is 12?
yeah
where did yu get the 3 in 36/3
