The radius of the cone-shaped container is half of the diameter, so the radius is 3 feet / 2 = 1.5 feet.
The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * (1.5)^2 * 6
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 2.25 * 6
V = 1.5 * 3.14 * 6
V = 28.26 cubic feet
The total cost to fill the container will be 28.26 cubic feet * $2.00/cubic foot = $56.52.
Therefore, the total cost to fill the container will be $56.52.
A cone-shaped container has a height of 6 feet and a diameter of 3 feet. It will be filled with concrete mix that costs $2.00 for each cubic foot.
What will be the total cost to fill the container?
Use 3.14 for π.
