A volcano in the approximate shape of a cone has a diameter of 16 km and a height of 1.95 km. Which estimate best approximates the volume of the volcano? Use 3.14 for pi and round to nearest whole number. Remember to show all calculations!

Respuesta :

Volume = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
             = 1/3 * pi * 8^2 * 1.5     ( radius = 1/2 diameter = 1/2 * 16 = 8)
             =  130.7 km^3 Answer

Answer:

[tex]130.624km^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A volcano in  shape of a cone has a diameter of 16 km and a height of 1.95 km.

To Find : Volume of Volcano.

Solution :

Since we are given that volcano is in shape of cone .

So, Formula of volume of cone : [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Height = 1.95 km.

Diameter = 16 km

Radius (r) = Diameter/2 = 16/2 =8 km

π = 3.14

Substituting all values in formula

Volume of volcano:

= [tex]\frac{1}{3} *3.14 (8)^{2}*1.95[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{391.872}{3} [/tex]

⇒ [tex]130.624km^{3}[/tex]

Thus , The volume of volcano is  [tex]130.624km^{3}[/tex]  i.e. 131 cubic km. nearest to whole number
