A cone shaped container on a farm is used for storing animal feed. The container has a radius of 4 feet and a height of 12 feet. What volume of feed, in cubic feet, can the container store. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

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

Plug in the given values:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(4^2)(12)

Simplify inside the parentheses:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(16)(12)

Multiply:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(192)

Simplified to nearest hundredth:
V ≈ 200.96 cubic feet.

The container can store approximately 200.96 cubic feet of feed.
