Question 15 • (OC27) GEO-1206310-S2-Degele-VOL7006P

A gardener uses a tray of 6 conical pots to plant seeds. Each conical pot has a radius of 3 centimeters and a depth of 8 centimeters.About how many cubic centimeters of soil are needed to plant the full tray? Round to the nearest cubic centimeter.

Answer
A
226 cm3
B
301 cm3
C
452 cm3
D
678 cm3

Explanation

The volume of one cone is V = ⅓πr²h. Using radius 3 cm and depth 8 cm gives ⅓π(3²)(8) = 24π, or about 75.4 cm³ per pot. For 6 pots, 6 × 75.4 ≈ 452 cm³, so the answer is C, 452 cm³.
