Lake City uses a cone-shaped building to store the salt they spread on their roads during winter. Each storage building has a radius of 39 feet and a height of 48 feet. Using 3.14 for , approximately how much salt can each storage building hold? A. 229,245.12 cubic feet B. 5,878.08 cubic feet C. 76,415.04 cubic feet D. 94,049.28 cubic feet Reset

Respuesta :

To calculate the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h

Where:
- π (pi) is approximately 3.14
- r is the radius of the cone
- h is the height of the cone

Plugging in the values:
Volume = (1/3) * 3.14 * (39^2) * 48

Volume ≈ (1/3) * 3.14 * 1521 * 48

Volume ≈ (1/3) * 3.14 * 72912

Volume ≈ (3.14 * 72912) / 3

Volume ≈ 229,245.12 cubic feet

So, the correct answer is option A. 229,245.12 cubic feet.
