For Christmas, Buddy the Elf makes a paper cone Santa hat. If the height of the cone is 8 inches and radius of the cone is 3 inches, what is the volume of the hat?

Answer 1

The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given:
Radius (r) = 3 inches
Height (h) = 8 inches

Plugging in the values into the formula:

V = (1/3)π(3²)(8)
= (1/3)π(9)(8)
= (1/3)π(72)
= (72/3)π
= 24π

So, the volume of the paper cone Santa hat made by Buddy the Elf is 24π cubic inches.
