Do Now:

1) Find the volume.

2)

3) Find the volume. 4) Find the volume.

Volume of a Cone Volume of a Pyramid

Example #1: Find the volume of the cone.

Example #2: Find the height of a cone whose volume is 169 cm3 and radius of 4 cm.

Example #3: Find the volume of the rectangular pyramid.

Example #4: Find the volume of the triangular base pyramid.

5) Find the volume of the cone.

6) Find the volume of the pyramid.

7) The base of the pyramid below is a square with side lengths 8 in. Find the volume of the pyramid.

8) The figure below shows a scoop that is used by children playing in a sandbox. The children are using the scoop to
move sand out of a bucket, which has a maximum capacity of 3,000 cubic inches.

9) The diagram below shows a conical (cone-shaped) cup that is used in doctor’s offices to give patients water.
10) The diagram at shows an automatic pet feeder. The feeder is composed of two sections, with the dimensions shown.

11) The diagrams below show two scoops that can be used in a local sandbox. Which scoop will hold more sand? Justify
your answer, showing all relevant mathematical work.

12) The diagram below shows a funnel used by an automotive shop. The shop also has another funnel that is three
centimeters taller than the funnel shown. Both funnels hold the same amount of oil when filled to capacity.
Find the radius of the second funnel to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
13) The diagram below shows a 4-foot long rocket used as a booster for a small spacecraft. If 60% of the rocket is used
to hold fuel, how much space is available for non-fuel items?

14) The base of the pyramid below is a square with side lengths of 3.8 mm. If the volume of the
pyramid is 63 mm3, what is the height of the pyramid to the nearest tenth of a millimeter?

15) Find the volume of the cone. Round to the nearest tenth. (HINT: Use right triangle trig)
