Volume of cone

Example 1 Calculate the volume of a cone with 16 cm base radius and 24 cm height. ( = 3.142). Solution

24 cm 16 cm Volume of cone 1 r2h 3 1 = x 3.142 x (16 cm)2 x 24 cm 3 = 6434.82 cm3 =

Example 2 The volume a cone is 425 cm3. If the base radius is 8 cm, calculate the height of the cone. ( = 3.142) Solution

? cm 8 cm

Volume of sphere and hemisphere Volume of composite solids involved cuboids, cubes, prisms, cylinders, cones, sphere and hemisphere can be calculated by: 1. calculate each solid separately, then 2. sum up the volume of the solids Example 7 Calculate the volume of the composite solid below, given the base radius of the cone and the height of the cone are 3 cm and 12 cm respectively. ( = 3.142)

10 cm Volume of hemisphere 2 r3 3 2 = x 3.142 x (10 cm)3 3 = 2094.67 cm3 = 1 r2h 3

Volume of cone

1 x 3.142 x (3 cm)2 x 12 cm 3 = 113.11 cm3 So, the volume of the composite solid = 2094.67 cm3 + 113.11 cm3 = 2207.78 cm3 = Test yourself 1. Calculate the volume of the cone below.
