Volume of the cone is 117.5 π ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Lateral area of the cone = πrs
s is the slant height = 15 ft
From the above formula, we can find the radius as, 5 ft.
Volume of the cone = π r² h/3
s = √ (5²+ h²)
Squaring on both sides, we will get,
s² = 15² = (5² + h²)
15² - 5² = h²
225 - 25 = 200 = h²
h = √200 = 14.1 ft
Volume = π × 5² × 14.1 / 3 = 117.5 π ft³
