Question
Calculate the volume of a cone with a diameter of 30 feet and a height of 60 feet. Use 3.14 for π.
- 14130 ft3
- 14131 ft3
- 14132 ft3
- 14133 ft3
Hint:
when it comes to mensuration one can find attributes of an structure in any method. Anyhow, once one has got an expression for volume of a structure then, substitute the values given and find the values needed.
The correct answer is: 14130 ft3
Given That:
Diameter of a base of a cone = 30 feet
we know that 2Radius=Diameter then,
Radius of a base of a cone =15 feet
Height of a cone = 60 feet
From the volume of the cone = r2h
=
=14130 feet3
***Hence, the volume of a cone is 14130 cubic feet.
Cone is a 3-Dimensional Geometric Structure which is associated by a circle and whose end points of a diameter is connected at a point called apex or cone vertex. Since, it is a closed structure it has a property of having volume. Since, it is a derived structure from Cylinder the volume of cone depends on the volume of a cylinder.
Hence, if we obtain volume of a cylinder, it is simple task to evaluate an expression for a volume of a cone.
Volume of any Structure = Base area Height
Similarly, The volume of a Cylinder = Area of base circle Height of a cylinder
= r2h
where, r is the radius of the base circle and h be the height of a Cylinder.
***Hence, we know that Volume of a cone =1/3(Volume of a Cylinder)
=r2h
Hence, we obtained the required volume of a cone = r2h.

A cone and a cylinder have the same diameter and height. How many times greater is the cylinder's volume than the cone's?
Since, We know the volume of a cylinder and volume of a cone, we can easily relate between them.
As, we seen before Volume of a Cylinder is given by : r2h
Similarly, Volume of the Cone is: r2h.
***Volume of a Cone = Volume of a Cylinder.
***Volume of a Cylinder = 3 Volume of Cone.
Hence, We can say that Volume of the Cylinder is Three times the volume of the Cone.
