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

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

First, you need to find the radius. The diameter of the cone is 20 cm, so the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{20 , \text{cm}}{2} = 10 , \text{cm} \]

Now, plug the radius and height into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (10 , \text{cm})^2 \times 15 , \text{cm \]

Calculating \( (10 , \text{cm})^2 \):

\[ (10 , \text{cm})^2 = 100 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Now substitute that back into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 100 , \text{cm}^2 \times 15 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1500 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 1500 = 4710 \):

\[ V = \frac{4710}{3} , \text{cm}^3 \]

Calculating \( \frac{4710}{3} = 1570 \):

\[ V = 1570 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the cone is 1,570 cubic centimeters.

An oblique cone shows a base radius of 9 inches. The perpendicular height is 5 inches from the apex to the base outside the cone. A right angle is formed outside the cone to the right. A dashed diagonal line connects the center of the circular base to the apex.

What is the volume of the cone? Use 3.14 for pi.

To calculate the volume of the cone, we use the formula for the volume of a cone:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • Base radius \( r = 9 \) inches,
  • Perpendicular height \( h = 5 \) inches.

Now substitute these values into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (9^2) \times 5 \]

Calculating \( 9^2 \):

\[ 9^2 = 81 \]

Now plug that back into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 81 \times 5 \]

Calculating \( 81 \times 5 \):

\[ 81 \times 5 = 405 \]

Now substitute that into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 405 \]

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 405 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 405 = 1277.7 \]

Now divide by 3:

\[ V = \frac{1277.7}{3} = 425.9 \]

Thus, the volume of the cone is approximately 423.9 cubic inches.

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

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius of the base,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cone,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • The diameter of the cone is 2 cm, so the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{2 , \text{cm}}{2} = 1 , \text{cm} \]

  • The height \( h \) is 6 cm.

Now, substitute the values into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1 , \text{cm})^2 \times 6 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating \( (1 , \text{cm})^2 \):

\[ (1 , \text{cm})^2 = 1 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Now substitute that back into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 , \text{cm}^2 \times 6 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6 = \frac{18.84}{3} \]

Now do the division:

\[ V = 6.28 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of chocolate needed to make a solid chocolate cone is 6.28 cubic centimeters.
