A paper cone has a base diameter of 8cm and height of 3cm

Question

A)calculate the volume of the cone in terms of pie

Answer 1

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

V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h

Where:
V = Volume
π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)
r = Radius of the base of the cone
h = Height of the cone

Given that the base diameter of the cone is 8cm, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter:
r = 8cm / 2 = 4cm

Now plug in the values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * π * 4^2 * 3

V = (1/3) * π * 16 * 3
V = (1/3) * 48π
V = 16π

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 16π cubic centimeters.
