To find the volume \( V \) of a cone, you can use the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base of the cone,
- \( h \) is the height of the cone.
In your case, the radius \( r \) is 5 cm and the height \( h \) is 9 cm. Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
-
Calculate \( r^2 \): \[ r^2 = 5^2 = 25 \]
-
Substitute the values into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9 \]
-
Calculate \( 3.14 \times 25 \): \[ 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 \]
-
Now multiply that result by 9: \[ 78.5 \times 9 = 706.5 \]
-
Finally, divide by 3: \[ V = \frac{706.5}{3} \approx 235.5 \]
So, the volume of the cone is approximately 235.5 cubic centimeters when rounded to the nearest tenth.
