Please help! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! George and Sarah were building a cone-shaped sand castle. After some time, the diameter of the sand shaped cone was 12 in. and the height was 14 in. What is the approximate volume of the sand cone rounded to the nearest hundreth? (Show your work. Remember you can draw a picture to help you solve the problem). Label your answers with the correct units.

Use 3.14 to approximate pi

Answer:


They kept adding sand, and ten minutes later the volume of the sand cone had increased by 30%. What is the approximate volume of the sand cone now? Label your answers with the correct units. (Show your work) Use 3.14 to approximate pi

Answer:

volume = 527.52 in³

volume increased by 30% = 685.776 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone

[tex]V=\dfrac13\pi r^2h[/tex]

(where r is the radius and h is the height)

Given:

  • diameter = 12 in ⇒ radius = 6 in
  • height = 14 in
  • [tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]

[tex]\implies V=\dfrac13 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 6^2 \cdot 14[/tex]

[tex]\implies V=527.52 \ \sf in^3[/tex]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the volume increases by 30% then it will now be 130% of the original volume.

130% as a decimal = 130/100 = 1.3

Therefore, to find the new volume, multiply the original volume by 1.3.

[tex]\implies V=527.52 \cdot 1.3[/tex]

[tex]\implies V=685.776 \ \sf in^3[/tex]
