Volume of Cylinders, Cones, and Spheres — Quiz

Question 27 • MASTER COURSE Geometry

A gardener uses a tray of 6 conical pots to plant seeds. Each conical pot has a radius of 3 centimeters and a depth of 8 centimeters. About how many cubic centimeters of soil are needed to plant the full tray? Round to the nearest cubic centimeter.

Answer
A
678 cm cubed
B
226 cm cubed
C
452 cm cubed
D
301 cm cubed

Explanation

The volume of one cone is V = ⅓πr²h. Using radius 3 cm and depth 8 cm gives ⅓π(3²)(8) = 24π ≈ 75.4 cm³. For 6 pots, the total is 6 × 75.4 ≈ 452 cm³, so choice C, 452 cm³, is correct.
