Consider this composite figure.

2 cones. The top cone has a height of 5 centimeters and radius of 3 centimeters. The bottom cone has a height of 8 centimeters and radius of 3 centimeters.

Apply the formula of each shape to determine the volumes.



What is the exact volume of the composite figure?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]V=39\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is given by the formula

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

where

r is the radius of the circular base of cone

h is the height of the cone

step 1

Find the volume of the top cone

we have

[tex]r=3\ cm\\h=5\ cm[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^{2} (5)[/tex]

[tex]V=15\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

step 2

Find the volume of the bottom cone

we have

[tex]r=3\ cm\\h=8\ cm[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^{2} (8)[/tex]

[tex]V=24\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

step 3

Find the exact volume of the composite figure

Adds the volume of the top cone plus the volume of the bottom cone

[tex]V=(15\pi+24\pi)=39\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

Answer: The answer is 39. It's correct:)
