Problema Solution
A company makes cones out of solid foam. Each cone has a height of
18
inches, and its base has a radius of
3
inches. How much foam is needed to make
25
cones?
Use
3.14
for
π
, and do not round your answer.
Answer provided by our tutors
H = 18 in
R = 3 in
π = 3.14
The volume of one cone is:
V = (1/3)(R^2*π*H)
V = (1/3)(3^2*3.14*18)
The volume of 25 cones is:
25V = 25*(1/3)(3^2*3.14*18) = 4,239 in^3.
