Math Problem Statement

Find the volume of the cone. Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π. The cone has a height of 6 units and a base radius of 10 units.

Solution

To solve for the volume of the cone, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cone:

V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h

Where:

  • rr is the radius of the base,
  • hh is the height of the cone.

From the image:

  • The radius r=10r = 10 units,
  • The height h=6h = 6 units.

Now, let's calculate the volume in two ways:

  1. Exact answer in terms of π\pi,
  2. Approximate answer using π3.14\pi \approx 3.14.

I'll calculate that now.The volume of the cone is:

  1. Exact answer in terms of π\pi: 628.32units3628.32 \, \text{units}^3 (rounded to two decimal places),
  2. Approximate answer using π3.14\pi \approx 3.14: 628.0units3628.0 \, \text{units}^3.
