Question

Need help with geometry. I will fan and medal!

Answer 1

A cone has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 18 inches. What is the exact volume of the cone?
I got 471.24in^3 but apparently that was wrong and it is not the exact volume

Answer 2

(1/3)(pi)(5^2)(18) =471.24

Answer 3

I don't know what I did wrong with the math.

Answer 4

so to find the volume of a cone, remember the equation is

V = pi * r^2 * (h/3)

Does that help? I think you just have the equation wrong. Let me know what your answer is and I'll check it for you. :)

Answer 5

You know what? I'm getting 471.24 cubic inches as well, are you sure you're measurements are correct?

Answer 6

Yeah, that is what the measurements are stated as.

Answer 7

Oh, don't round your answer. What value of pi are you using? 3.14? 3.1415?

Answer 8

471.23889803
thats with all the decimals
im just using the pi symbol on a calculator

Answer 9

so thats the exact volume

Answer 10

471.23889803846896 This is the value that I'm getting. How many tries do you have? I would try your first, the 471.23889803 one.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Sure! Do what you gotta do!
