Applications with the Volume of a Cone — Quiz

Question 5 • Foundations of Math 1

Zula has a conical bird feeder with a volume of 64 point 3 cubic centimeters and a height of 7 centimeters. Which equation can be used to find the area of the circular lid needed to cover the bird feeder?

Answer
A
64 point 3 is equal to 1 third open paren cap b squared close paren 7
B
64 point 3 is equal to 1 third 7 h
C
64 point 3 is equal to 1 third cap b 7 squared
D
64 point 3 is equal to 1 third cap b 7

Explanation

The volume of a cone is found with V = 1/3 × B × h, where B is the area of its circular base and h is its height. Substituting the volume 64.3 cubic centimeters and height 7 centimeters gives 64.3 = 1/3 × B × 7. Choice D states this equation, and solving it would give the lid’s area.
