What is the volume of a cone with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 15 cm?

1 answer

To find the volume of a cone, we can use the formula: V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 20 cm, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2: r = 20 cm / 2 = 10 cm.

Now we can calculate the volume using the formula: V = (1/3) * π * 10^2 * 15.

V ≈ (1/3) * 3.14159 * 100 * 15

V ≈ 157.07963 * 15

V ≈ 2356.94 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 2356.94 cm^3.
