Example Question #7 :How To Find The Volume Of A Cone

找到的体积cone with radius 3 and height 5.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

解释:

To solve, simply use the formula for the volume of a cone. Thus,

To remember the formula for volume of a cone, it helps to break it up into it's base and height. The base is a circle and the height is just h. Now, just multiplying those two together would give you the formula of a cylinder (see problem 3 in this set). So, our formula is going to have to be just a portion of that. Similarly to volume of a pyramid, that fraction is one third.

Example Question #8 :How To Find The Volume Of A Cone

Find the area of a cone whose radius is 4 and height is 3.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

解释:

To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a cone. Thus,

Example Question #9 :How To Find The Volume Of A Cone

The volume of a right circular cone is. If the cone's height is equal to its radius, what is the radius of the cone?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

解释:

The volume of a right circular cone with radiusand heightis given by:

Since the height of this cone is equal to its radius, we can say:

Now, we can substitute our given volume into the equation and solve for our radius.

In terms of, express the volumeof the above right circular cone.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

解释:

The volumeof a cone can be calculated from its heightand the radiusof its base using the formula

The slant heightis shown in the diagram to be 24. By the Pythagorean Theorem,

Settingand solving for:

Substituting in the volume formula for:

.
