Math Problem Statement

Write an expression for the total volume of the cone. Give your answer in terms of π in its simplest form.

Solution

To determine the total volume of the cone, we 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 cone,
  • hh is the height of the cone,
  • π\pi is the constant pi.

Given:

  • Radius r=9n2r = 9n^2,
  • Height h=9h = 9.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Substitute the given values into the volume formula: V=13π(9n2)2(9)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9n^2)^2 (9)

  2. Simplify (9n2)2(9n^2)^2: (9n2)2=81n4(9n^2)^2 = 81n^4

  3. Substitute back into the formula: V=13π(81n4)(9)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (81n^4)(9)

  4. Multiply the constants: 81×9=72981 \times 9 = 729 So: V=13π(729n4)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (729n^4)

  5. Simplify: V=243πn4V = 243\pi n^4

Final Answer:

The total volume of the cone is: 243πn4\boxed{243\pi n^4}
