A cake decorator rolls a piece of stiff paper to form a cone. She cuts off the tip of the cone and uses it as a funnel to pour decorative sprinkles into small containers. The cone has a radius of 66 cm and a height of 1818 cm.
What is the volume of the cone before the end is cut off?
Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.143.14 for π.
Answers
The formula for finding the volume of a cone is V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h. Using the information given, you would have the following problem to calculate: 1/3 x 3.14 6 x 6 x 18. The volume is approximately 678.24 cubic cm or 216 pi cm^3. You would give you answer as V = 216 pi cm^3.
