Use the image to answer the question. 6 of 15 2 in. 6 in. Anders finds the volume of the cone in the image. What is the volume of this cone in cubic inches? Use 3.14 to represent pi and round the volume to the nearest cubic inch (1 point) 25 cubic inches 24 cubic inches 75 cubic inches 13 cubic inches

1 answer

To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height of the cone.

From your question, it seems that the cone has:

  • Height \( h = 6 \) inches
  • Diameter \( d = 2 \) inches, which gives a radius \( r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \) inch.

Now, plug the values into the volume formula.

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot (1)^2 \cdot 6 \]

Calculating that:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 1 \cdot 6 \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 18.84 \]

\[ V = 6.28 \]

Rounding to the nearest cubic inch gives us: \[ V \approx 6 \text{ cubic inches} \]

However, none of the provided options match this result. re-check the provided values or question context to ensure accuracy. Given the provided options:

  • 25 cubic inches
  • 24 cubic inches
  • 75 cubic inches
  • 13 cubic inches

It seems there may have been a mistake in interpreting the values, as the calculated volume does not match any of them. Adjust the values if necessary or provide more accurate dimensions. If the height of the cone is incorrect, try recalculating by confirming all dimensions.
