Acylinder has a height of 16 cm and a radius of 5 cm. a cone has a height of 12 cm and a radius of 4 cm. if the cone is placed inside the cylinder as shown, what is the volume of the air space surrounding the cone inside the cylinder? (use 3.14 as an approximation of π.) a.452.16 cm3 b.840.54 cm3 c.1,055.04 cm3 d.1,456.96 cm3

Ok so the end equation here is going to be VCy-VCo=
air space. So we need to find the volume of the cone and the volume of the cylinder.

Lets start with the volume of the cylinder since its easiest. The volume of a cylinder is Pi*r^2*h = Volume.
We already know that the radius is 5 and the height is 16 so lets plug them in and solve. 3.14*5^2*16=1,256

Now lets solve to find the volume of the cone. Now this ones a bit harder, the equation is: Pi*r^2*(h/3)= Volume.
The radius is 4 and the height is 12, so now just solve! 3.14*4^2*(12/3)=201

Now we just need to subtract the Volume of the cylinder from the volume of the cone. 1,256-201=1,055

If you have any questions just ask!

Answer: 900°

good luck on your studies! : )
