The volume of a cone is equal to one-third of the product area of circular base and height. The formula for the volume of a cone is (1/3)πr^2h, where, "h" is the height of the cone, and "r" is the radius of the base.
1. English Spanish 7.4 Volumes of Cones How can you remember the formulas for S STATE surface area and volume? STANDARDS MA.7.G.2.1 You discovered that the volume of a pyramid is one-third the volume of a prism that has the same base and same height. You can use a similar activity to discover that the volume of a cone is Height â h one-third the volume of a cylinder that has the same base and height. 1 Volume of a Cone = —(Area of Base) × (Height) 3 Area of Base â B 1 ACTIVITY: Summarizing Volume Formulas Work with a partner. You can remember the volume formulas for all of the solids shown with just two concepts. Volumes of Prisms and Cylinders Volume = (Area of Base) × (Height) Volumes of Pyramids and Cones 1 Volume = — (Volume of Prism or Cylinder with same base and height) 3 Make a list of all the formulas you need to remember to find the area of a base.

2. English Spanish 2 ACTIVITY: Volumes of Oblique Solids Work with a partner. Think of a stack of paper. If you adjust the stack so that the sides are oblique (slanted), do you change the volume of the stack? If the volume of the stack does not change, then the formulas for volumes of right solids also apply to oblique solids. h=5 h=5 h=4 h=4 B = 4π B = 4π B = 9π B = 9π Right cylinder Oblique cylinder Right cone Oblique cone 3 ACTIVITY: Summarizing Surface Area Formulas Work with a partner. Make a list of the formulas for surface area that you studied in Chapter 6. Organize these formulas in a way similar to what you did in Activity 1. Surface Area of a Right Prism = Surface Area of a Right Pyramid = Surface Area of a Right Cylinder = Surface Area of a Right Cone = 4. IN YOUR OWN WORDS How can you remember the formulas for surface area and volume? Write all of the surface area and volume formulas on a summary sheet. Make the list short so that you do not have to memorize many formulas. Use what you learned about the volumes of cones to complete Exercises 4– 6 on page 320. Section 7.4 Volumes of Cones 317

The sand falls at a rate of 50 cubic millimeters per second. 10 mm How much time do you have to answer the question? Use the formula for the volume of a cone to find the volume of the sand in the timer. 24 mm 1 V = —Bh Write formula. 3 1 = — π (10)2(24) Substitute. 3 = 800π ≈ 2512 Simplify. The volume of the sand is about 2512 cubic millimeters. To find the amount of time you have to answer the question, multiply the volume by the rate at which the sand falls. 1 sec 2512 mm3 × —3 = 50.24 sec 50 mm You have about 50 seconds to answer the question. 3.
