A solid machine part is to be manufactured as shown in the figure. The part is made by cutting a small cone off the top of a larger cone. The small cone has a base radius of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. The larger cone has a base radius of 9 inches and had a height of 15 inches prior to being cut. What is the volume

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 390 × pi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Big cone:

V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h

= 1/3 x 3.14 x 9^2 x 15

= 1272.3 cubic inches

Small cone:

V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h

= 1/3 x 3.14 x 3^2 x 5

= 47.1 cubic inches  

1272.3 - 47.1 = 1225.2 cubic inches

1272/3.14 ≈ 390

The answer is 390 × pi.
