How many cubic meter of dirt are there in a pile, conical in shape, 12 m in diameter and 9 m high ?

1 answer

The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height.

Given that the diameter of the base of the cone is 12m, the radius (r) is half of that, so r = 6m. The height (h) of the cone is 9m.

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3)π(6)^2(9)
V = (1/3)π(36)(9)
V = (1/3)π(324)
V = 108π cubic meters

Therefore, there are approximately 339.3 cubic meters of dirt in the pile.
