Question

A cone with radius 7 m is 6 m high. Find the volume (in $m^3$) of the cone.
(Take $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

The correct answer is
308

To find the volume of a cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

\(V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)

where:

  • \(r\) is the radius of the base of the cone.
  • \(h\) is the height of the cone.
  • \(\pi\) is a constant, where we take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\).

Given:

  • Radius \((r)\) = 7 m
  • Height \((h)\) = 6 m

Substitute the given values into the volume formula:

\(V = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times 6\)

Now calculate:

  1. First calculate the square of the radius:
    • \(r^2 = 7^2 = 49\)
  2. Substitute \(r^2\) in the formula:
    • \(V = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 49 \times 6\)
  3. Simplify the fraction and multiply:
    • \(V = \frac{1}{3} \times 22 \times 7 \times 6\)
    • \(V = \frac{1}{3} \times 22 \times 42\)
    • \(V = \frac{1}{3} \times 924\)
    • Calculate: \(V = 308\) cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 308 m3.

Thus, the correct answer is \(308\).
