when solving for the volume of the oblique cone,which segments would you use to substitute in the formula for volume: V = 1/3 pir^2h

To find the volume of an oblique cone using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, you would use the radius (r) and the height (h) of the cone.
slant height?
Apologies for the oversight. When solving for the volume of an oblique cone using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, you do not directly use the slant height. The slant height is used in determining the radius and height of the cone for cases where only the slant height and the vertical height are known.
You typically use the radius (r) and the height (h) directly in the volume formula. If only the slant height and vertical height are given, you would need to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the radius and then use that radius along with the vertical height to calculate the volume using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h.
