A cone has a diameter of 24 in. and a height of 10in. What is the volume of s cone? use 3.14 as an approximation.. final answer in tenths

- Im stuck between two answers: 94.25 because if I do 3 x 10 to find the volume. I say 3 because the diameter is 24 in., also 8 x 3 equals 24. Or 41.89 because 2 x 10 to find the volume. Since 12 x 2 equals 24.. i thought of 2!

1 answer

volume of a right cone: 1/3 * area base*height

the area of the base is PI*12^2

Your thinking explained is way off base. You would be doing better to use a dart board.

Use the formula above, better yet, MEMORIZE it.
