A sector of radius 10 and central angle 216° is rolled into a cone. Find the volume of the cone.

  1. 120 π 376.99
  2. 48 π 150.8
  3. 288 π 904.78
  4. 96 π 301.59

Answer

D. 96 π 301.59

Solution

The arc length 216/360(2π)(10)=12π becomes the base circumference, so the base radius is 6. The slant height is 10, so the height is 8. V= 13π(36)(8)=96π 301.59.
