Question 1203423: The truncated right circular cone below has a large base radius $8$ cm and a small base radius of $4$ cm. The height of the truncated cone is $10$ cm. The volume of this solid is $n \pi$ cubic cm, where $n$ is an integer. What is $n$?

The truncated right circular cone below has a large base radius 8 cm and a small base radius of 4 cm.
The height of the truncated cone is 10 cm. The volume of this solid is n%2Api cubic cm,
where n is an integer. What is n?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Use the formula for the volume of a right truncated circular cone

    V = %281%2F3%29%2Api%2Ah%2A%28r%5E2+%2B+r%2AR+%2B+R%5E2%29.


So, they want you calculate this expression

    n = %281%2F3%29%2A10%2A%284%5E2+%2B+4%2A8+%2B+8%5E2%29.


Try to calculate it, but be aware: you will not get an integer number, 
as the problem states/requests it in your post.
