The formula for the volume of a cone is (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cone.
Assuming that "9 by 4" means the dimensions of the circular base are 9 inches and 4 inches, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter (9 inches) by 2, giving us a radius of 4.5 inches.
We don't have the height of the cone given, so we can't find the exact volume. However, we can use the options provided to estimate the volume.
Plugging in the radius of 4.5 inches and the height of 6 inches (a reasonable guess based on the dimensions given), we get:
(1/3)π(4.5^2)(6) ≈ 142.7 in.^3
Since this is closest to 151 in.^3, that is our answer to the nearest whole unit.
what is the volume of the cone to the nearest whole unit 9 by 4
452 in.^3
339 in.3
226 in.3
151 in.^3
