Problema Solution
A cone has a height of 8 and a diameter of 15. Find the volume of the cone. What would the volume of a cylnder with the same dimenstions be?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
h = 8 the height
d = 15 the diameter
the volume of the cone is
V1 = (1/3)(d/2)^2*pi*h
V1 = (1/3)(15/2)^2*pi*8
V1 = 150 pi
V1 = 471 (if we put pi = 3.14)
the volume of the cylinder is
V2 = (d/2)^2*pi*h
V2 = 3*V1
V2 = 3*150 pi
V2 = 450 pi
V2 = 1413
