A cone has a radius of 24 cm and volume of 1,920 cm3 What is the volume of a similar cone with a radius of 18 cm

1. 480 cm3
2. 810 cm3
3. 1,080 cm3
4. 1,440 cm3
explain why

1 answer

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = 1/3πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

We know the radius of the first cone is 24 cm and the volume is 1,920 cm3, so we can use this to find the height:

1,920 = 1/3π(24²)h

Solving for h, we get h = 5 cm

Now, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone again, but with the new radius of 18 cm and the same height of 5 cm:

V = 1/3π(18²)(5)

V ≈ 810 cm3

Therefore, the answer is 2. 810 cm3.
