1. Problem Description

We need to find the volume of a cone with diameter 12 cm and height 12 cm. We need to round the answer to the nearest tenth.

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the volume VV of a cone is given by:
V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
where rr is the radius and hh is the height.
In our problem, the diameter is 12 cm, so the radius rr is half of the diameter:
r=122=6r = \frac{12}{2} = 6 cm
The height hh is given as 12 cm.
Now, we can plug these values into the formula:
V=13π(62)(12)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (6^2) (12)
V=13π(36)(12)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (36) (12)
V=13π(432)V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (432)
V=144πV = 144 \pi
Using a calculator and the π\pi button, we have:
V144×3.14159265359V \approx 144 \times 3.14159265359
V452.389342117V \approx 452.389342117
Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
V452.4V \approx 452.4 cm3^3

3. Final Answer

452.4
