= Formula for the volume of a cone
= Formula for the volume of a cube
Before we plug numbers into these formulas it is important to note that the units used for the cone's dimensions are in meters and the units for the cube are represented in centimeters. Therefore, we must convert centimeters to meters.
1 cm = 1/100 m
30 cm = 30/100 or 3/10 or .3m
1. Find the volume of the cube:
= = =
2. Find the volume of the cone:
= =
3. To determine how many cubes will fit into the cone:
= = 2618.14
Answer: 2618 cubes will fit into the cone.
