Answer 1

This figure shows the nose cone of a rocket used for launching satellites. The nose cone houses the satellite until the satellite is placed in orbit. What is the volume of the nose cone?

A. 45 π cubic feet ✔✔

B. 60 π cubic feet

C. 90 π cubic feet

D. 180 π cubic feet

Explaination :

Given that :

Radius of base of the nose cone = 6/2 = 3 feet

Height of the nose cone = 15 feet

As we know that :

Volume of Cone :

$\frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2} h$

$= > \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {3}^{2} \times 15 = 45\pi$

So, the volume of nose cone will be 45 π cubic feet. ✔

I hope it will help you ☺
