1. Find the volume of the cone. Round to the nearest tenth.
V = πr2h Volume of a cone
V = • π • 32 • 6 r = 3, h = 6
V ≈ 56.5 Simplify
The volume is about 56.5 cubic inches.

2. A cone-shaped paper cup is filled with water. The height of the cup
is 10 centimeters and the diameter is 8 centimeters. What is the
volume of the paper cup? Round to the nearest tenth.
V = πr2h Volume of a cone
r = 4, h = 10
V ≈ 167.6 Simplify
The volume of the paper cup is about 167.6 cubic centimeters.
V = • π • 42 • 10

3. Find the volume of the solid.
Round to the nearest tenth.
Find the volume of the cylinder.
Volume of a cylinder
So, the volume of the solid is about 201.1 + 83.8 or
284.9 cubic feet.
Find the volume of the cone.
Volume of a cone
V = π • 42 • 4
V = π • 16 • 4
V ≈ 201.1
V = πr2h
r = 4, h = 4
Simplify
