Answer:

268.0 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

refer to attached graphic as reference

volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr²h

in our case, we are given r = 4" and h = 16"

substituting this into equation:

V = (1/3) πr²h

= (1/3) ·(3.14) · (4)²· (16)

= 267.94667 in²

= 268.0 in² (nearest tenth)

The volume of the paper cone to the nearest tenth = 268.0 in².

Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr²h

Where, h= height of the cone

r = radius of the cone

V= volume of the cone

In our case, we are given r = 4" and h = 16"

substituting this into the equation:

V = (1/3) πr²h

Substitute into the formula we have

The value of π = 3.14

V = (1/3) ·(3.14) · (4)²· (16)

= 267.94667 in²

= 268.0 in² (nearest tenth)

Therefore, the volume of the cone = 268.0 in² (nearest tenth)
