Question

A bird seed feeder has the approximate shape of a cone with a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 25.5 cm.



What is the best approximation for the volume of the bird seed feeder?

320.44 cm³
961.33 cm³
2883.98 cm³
3845.31 cm³

Answer 1

Cone Volume =  (π • radius² • height) ÷ 3
Cone Volume =  (PI * 6^2 * 25.5) / 3
Cone Volume =  (PI * 12 * 25.5)
Cone Volume =  961.3273519985
Second answer is correct

Answer 2

By using the equation for the volume of a cone, we will see that the volume is:

V = 2,883.92 cm³

How to get the volume of the bird seed feeder?

Remember that the volume of a cone of diameter D and height H is given by:

$V = pi*(D/2)^2*H$

where pi = 3.1416

In this case, we have:

• D = 12cm
• H = 25.5cm

Replacing that in the volume equation we get:

$V = 3.1416*(12cm/2)^2*25.5cm = 2,883.98 cm^3$

Then the correct option is the third one.
