Question 13 A fern is in a hanging basket in the shape of a cone. The basket has a radius of 7 inches and a height of 11 inches. What is the volume of the basket? Round to the nearest tenth.



Answer :

Answer: To find the volume of the cone-shaped basket, we can use the formula:

V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h

where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14159, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Plugging in the values given:

V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 7^2 * 11

V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 49 * 11

V = 1/3 * 3.14159 * 539

V = 179.17 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the basket is approximately 179.2 cubic inches.
