Given the measurements:
Height of the cone = 2.5 inches
Radius of the cone = 5 inches
Determine the volume of the cone.
Formula for the volume of the cone:
V=π r^2 h/3
Solution:
Substitute the given values of the radius and the height to the formula for the volume of the cone.
V=πr^2h/3
V=π(5)^2 (2/5)/3
V=π(5 inches)^2 (2.5 inches)/3
V=π(25 in^2)(0.833 inches)
V =65.45 in^3
Final answer:
V =65.45 in^3
