Substitute the given values for radius and height:

5

What is the volume of a cone with a circle radius of and a height of ?

Explanation

To find the volume of a cone we must use the equation

We must first solve for the area of the circle using .

The equation for the area of a circle is

We plug in and square it to get

We then plug our answer into the equation for the cone with to get

We multiply to get our final answer for the volume of the cone

6

What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of and a height of ?

Explanation

When you think of volume, think of it as a stack of something. A cube is a stack of squares. A cylinder is a stack of circles. That means that the volume of a cylinder will be the area of that circle times the height, or

Plug in our given numbers to solve:
