Example Question #823 : High School Math

What is the volume of a cone with a height of meters and a base diameter of  meters?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is  

Notice that we are given the diameter, meters, not the radius; thus, we have to solve for the radius by dividing the diameter by two. The radius is therefore  3 meters. Then, we plug this value into the formula for volume:
