Volume of Cones Lesson 21
1. Sketch and label a diagram of a cone with a radius of 3 cm and a height of 7 cm. 2. Find the surface area of the cone in #1. 3. A cone and a cylinder have congruent bases and are the same height. Predict what the relationship between their volumes will be.
Target: Calculate the volume of cones.
The volume of a cone is equal to one-third of the product of the area of the base (B) and the height (h).
Find the volume of the cone. Use 3.14 for π. Write the formula.V = πr 2 h Substitute known values.V ≈ (3.14)(4) 2 (12) Find the value of the power.V ≈ (3.14)(16)(12) Multiply.V ≈ The volume of the cone is about cm 3.
Chantel helped with her sister’s party. Each child received a party hat full of treats. Each hat had a volume of cubic inches. The radius of each hat was 3 inches. How tall was each party hat? Write the formula. V = πr 2 h Substitute known values ≈ (3.14)(3) 2 h Find the value of the power ≈ (3.14)(9)h Multiply ≈ 9.42h Divide by 9.42 on both sides ≈ h Each party hat was about 7 inches tall.
1. Find the volume of the cone. Use 3.14 for . 2. A cone has a volume of 30 cubic inches. What is the volume of a cylinder with the same height and a congruent base to the cone?
What is similar about cones and pyramids? What is different?
