Answer :

Answer:

Volume of the cone = 1517.21 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

[tex] {s}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {h}^{2} [/tex]

where h = vertical height of the cone.

[tex] {11}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {h}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = {11}^{2} - {8}^{2} = (11 - 8)(11 + 8)[/tex]

Applying difference of two squares

[tex] {h}^{2} = 3 \times 19 = 57[/tex]

h = √57

Volume of a cone = πr^2h = 3.14 × 8 × 8 × √ 57

= 200.86√57 = 1517.2147

Volume of the cone = 1517.21 cubic units
