The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius (half the diameter), and h is the height.
In this case, the radius is 4/2 = 2 meters and the height is 6 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 2^2 * 6
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 4 * 6
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 24
V = 8 * 3.14
V = 25.12 cubic meters
So, 25.12 cubic meters of sand is needed to fill the mold.
A sandcastle mold is in the shape of a cone, with a diameter of 4 meters and a height of 6 meters. What volume of sand is needed to fill the mold? Use 3.14 for π
