The height of a cone is equal to the diameter of the base.
(2x height, x radius)

What expression represents the volume of the cone, in cubic units?

A. 2/3 πx^3
B. 4/3 πx^2
C. 2πx^3
D. 4πx^3

Respuesta :

a 2/3 pi x ^2 is the best choice

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

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

where

r is the radius of the base of the cone

h is the height of the cone

in this problem we have

[tex]r=x\ units\\h=2x\ units[/tex]

substitute in the formula

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

[tex]V=\frac{2}{3} \pi x^{3}\ units^{3}[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option A

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \pi x^{3}\ units^{3}[/tex]
