Fan and Medal I'm in FLVS and I need help
A cone has a diameter of 8 centimeters and a height that is 4 times the diameter. Using 3.14 for pi, which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of the cone? one over three(3.14)(32cm)2(4cm) one over three(3.14)(32cm)2(8cm) one over three(3.14)(4cm)2(32cm) one over three(3.14)(8cm)2(32cm)
Do you know the equation for the volume for a cone?
no
wait yea
Volume of a cone: V=1 over 3(πr2)(h)
Yep
Yes Correct. So looking at this problem, The diameter is 8, so radius will be 4. The height is 4 times the diameter so 32 cm. Can you answer it from here?
think so
Alright, choose your answer and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong :)
k
I believe it's a but I want to say b
Well let's do this. V = 1/3(pi r)^2(h). If we fill in the info that we know, we get: V = 1/3 (pi (4))^2(32). See which one is correct now?
the second
No not quite. The second has 32 as the radius and 8 as the height. A and B aren't correct.
oh okay would you times 4 and 32 since the 4 is the height
The height is 4*Diameter so 4 * 8 = 32 for the height.
okay either way it's going to equal 32 so I want to say it's C but I feel like its wrong
Actually, C is correct :)
really awesome lucky guess thx for the help
Anytime!
