a cone has a height of 20 centimeters and a volume of 4,710 cubic centimeters. what is the area of the base of the cone?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]A=706.50\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the formula:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

where;

  • [tex]h[/tex] is the cone's height
  • [tex]r[/tex] is the radius
  • [tex]\pi r^2[/tex] is the base area of the cone.

We make [tex]\pi r^2[/tex] the subject of the formula then equate to the volume formula to calculate the base area:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\\\\pi r^2=\frac{3V}{h}\\\\=\frac{3\times 4710}{20}\\\\=706.50\ cm^2[/tex]

Hence, the cone's base has an area of [tex]706.50\ cm^2[/tex]
