A cone has a height of 6 units and a slant length of 10 units. Complete the statements about the cone. The height is units. The radius is units. The volume is π cubic units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

*The height is 6 units.

*The radius is 8 units.

*The volume is exactly [tex]128\pi[/tex] cubic units.

An approximation for the volume would be [tex]402.124[/tex] cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius, we will have to use Pythagorean Theorem (or remember some Pythagorean Triples-either way).

Slant height=10 units (this is the hypotenuse length)

Radius=r units (trying to find this leg length)

Height=6 units (we are given this leg length)

So we have to solve:

[tex]r^2+6^2=10^2[/tex]

[tex]r^2+36=100[/tex]

Subtract 36 on both sides:

[tex]r^2=64[/tex]

Square root both sides:

[tex]r=\sqrt{64}=8[/tex]

The radius is 8 units.

To find the volume of a cone, we will use the formula [tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h[/tex].

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi (8)^2 (6)[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3} \pi (64) (6)[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}(64)(6) \pi[/tex]

[tex]V=128 \pi [/tex]

So the volume is exactly [tex]128\pi [/tex] units cubed.

An approximation for this volume would be 402.124 units cubed (if we took an approximation of pi and multiply it to 128).

The height is 6 units, the radius is 8 units, and the volume is 128π cubic units.

What is the volume of a cone?

Let r be the radius of the base circle and h be the height of the cone.

Then the volume of the cone will be

V = 1/3 x πr² x h

A cone has a height of 6 units and a slant length of 10 units.

Then the radius of the base circle will be

10² = 6² + r²

100 = 36 + r²

  r² = 64

   r = 8 units

Then the volume of the cone will be

V = 1/3 x π(8)² x 6

V = 128π cubic units
