Problema Solution
Find the volume of a cone with a base diameter of
12yd
and a height of
10yd
. Write the exact volume in terms of
π
, and be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
Answer provided by our tutors
V = ? the volume in yd^3
d = 12 yd the diameter
H = 10 yd the height
V = (1/3)B*H, where B is the area of the base
B = (d/2)^2 π
B = (12/2)^2 π
B = 36π
V = (1/3)36π*10
V = 120π yd^3
The volume of the cone is 120π cubic yards.
