Q:

A cylinder has a radius of 4 feet and a height of 6 feet. Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of a cone that fits exactly inside the cylinder? 1 over 3(3.14)(4^2)(6) (3.14)(4^2)(6) 1 over 3(3.14)(6^2)(4) (3.14)(6^2)(4)I think it is c am i right?

Accepted Solution

A:
The cone that fits exactly inside the cylinder has the same radius and height of the cylinder
so the radius of a cone =  r = 4
and the height of a cone = h = 6
So,
      The volume of a cone =(1/3) π r² h
                                              = π * 4² * 6
                                              = (1/3)( 3.14 ) ( 4^2 )( 6 )
so the answer will be a
