The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the cone is 12 ft, the radius (r) would be half of that, so r = 6 ft.
Plugging the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 6^2 * 6
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 36 * 6
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 216
V = 226.96 ft³
Therefore, the approximate volume of the cone-shaped tent is 226.96 ft³.
A cone-shaped tent has a diameter of 12 ft and a height of 6 ft.
