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:
Where:
- is the radius of the base,
- is the height of the cone.
From the image:
- The radius units,
- The height units.
Now, let's calculate the volume in two ways:
- Exact answer in terms of ,
- Approximate answer using .
I'll calculate that now.The volume of the cone is:
- Exact answer in terms of : (rounded to two decimal places),
- Approximate answer using : .
