Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 18.9 inches and a base with a circumference of 15 inches.

[tex]\bf\blue{AnsweR:-}[/tex]

As we know,

Volume of right circular cone = ⅓ (Base area × Height)

Where as,

Base Area = π r^2

Hence, Volume = ⅓ π r^2 h

Here,

Height = 18.9 inches

Circumference of the base = 15 inches

We know,

Circumference = 2πr or πd

[tex]\implies\bf{15 = \dfrac{22}{7}\times{r}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\bf{r = \dfrac{15\times7}{22}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\bf{r= 4.7\:inches}[/tex]

Now we can see the volume of this right circular cone,

Formula applied here = ⅓ π r^2 h

Radius = 4.7 inches

Height = 18.9 inches

Volume = ⅓ π r^2 h

[tex]\implies\bf{\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{22}{7}\times4.7^{2} \times18.9}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\bf{\dfrac{22}{21}\times22.09 \times18.9}[/tex]

[tex]\implies\bf{437.382\:cubic\;units}[/tex]

The required answer for your question is,
