Question 1067777: A cone-shaped building has a height of 11.4 meters and a base with a diameter of 12 meters. The building will be filled with road salt that costs $20 per cubic meter.
How much will it cost to fill the building with road salt?

V (cone)=pi*r^2*h/3
I am assuming the height is the vertical and not slant height.
=pi*6^2*11.4=1288.656 m^3
multiply that by $20/m^3=$25,773.12
