A party hat is shaped like a cone. The dimensions of the party hat are circumference=6 and height=8 Which measurement is closest to the volume of the party hat in cubic inches?

Answer 1

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

In this case, the circumference of the base of the cone is 6, so we can find the radius by dividing the circumference by 2π: 6 / (2π) ≈ 0.9549.

The height of the cone is 8.

Plugging these values into the volume formula, we get V ≈ (1/3)π(0.9549)^2(8) ≈ 2.416 cubic inches.

Therefore, the measurement closest to the volume of the party hat is 2.416 cubic inches.
