\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, \( h \) is the height, and \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Let's solve each question step by step.
### Question 1:
**Find the volume of a cone with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 15 cm.**
First, find the radius:
\[ r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{20 \text{ cm}}{2} = 10 \text{ cm} \]
Now, plug the radius and height into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 100 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 4710 \]
\[ V = 1570 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
So the volume is **1,570 cubic centimeters**.
### Question 2:
**Find the volume of an oblique cone with a base radius of 9 inches and a perpendicular height of 5 inches.**
Using the same volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 9^2 \cdot 5 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 81 \cdot 5 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1272.9 \]
\[ V = 423.9 \text{ cubic inches} \]
So the volume is **423.9 cubic inches**.
### Question 3:
**Find the volume of a chocolate cone mold with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 6 cm.**
First, find the radius:
\[ r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{2 \text{ cm}}{2} = 1 \text{ cm} \]
Now, plug the radius and height into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 1^2 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = 6.28 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
So the volume is **6.28 cubic centimeters**.
### Question 4:
**Find the volume of a sandcastle mold in the shape of a cone with a diameter of 4 meters and a height of 6 meters.**
First, find the radius:
\[ r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{4 \text{ meters}}{2} = 2 \text{ meters} \]
Now, plug the radius and height into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 75.36 \]
\[ V = 25.12 \text{ cubic meters} \]
So the volume is **25.12 cubic meters**.
### Question 5:
**Find the volume of a hanging flower vase in the shape of a cone with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 15 inches.**
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 25 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1177.5 \]
\[ V = 392.83 \text{ cubic inches} \]
So the volume is approximately **392.5 cubic inches** (as the responses suggest rounding).
### Question 1:
**Volume of a cone with diameter 20 cm and height 15 cm:**
\[ r = \frac{20 \text{ cm}}{2} = 10 \text{ cm} \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 100 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 4710 \]
\[ V = 1570 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
**Answer:** **1,570 cubic centimeters**
### Question 2:
**Volume of an oblique cone with radius 9 inches and height 5 inches:**
\[ r = 9 \text{ inches} \]
\[ h = 5 \text{ inches} \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 9^2 \cdot 5 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 81 \cdot 5 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1272.9 \]
\[ V = 423.9 \text{ cubic inches} \]
**Answer:** **423.9 cubic inches**
### Question 3:
**Volume of a chocolate mold cone with diameter 2 cm and height 6 cm:**
\[ r = \frac{2 \text{ cm}}{2} = 1 \text{ cm} \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 1^2 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = 6.28 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
**Answer:** **6.28 cubic centimeters**
### Question 4:
**Volume of a sandcastle mold cone with diameter 4 meters and height 6 meters:**
\[ r = \frac{4 \text{ meters}}{2} = 2 \text{ meters} \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 75.36 \]
\[ V = 25.12 \text{ cubic meters} \]
**Answer:** **25.12 cubic meters**
### Question 5:
**Volume of a hanging flower vase cone with radius 5 inches and height 15 inches:**
\[ r = 5 \text{ inches} \]
\[ h = 15 \text{ inches} \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3.14 \cdot 25 \cdot 15 \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1177.5 \]
\[ V = 392.5 \text{ cubic inches} \]
**Answer:** **392.5 cubic inches**
