An oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches. What is the volume of the oblique cone? Round to the nearest tenth.

Oblique Cone

The volume of the oblique cone is 144.49 cubic inches , if an oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

             An oblique cone has a radius of 4 units

             A height of 8.5 units

             A slant length of 11.7 inches

We have to use the slant height to calculate actual base

So in a right angle triangle when two sides are given the third side is calculated by

Root (sqr(11,7) - sqr(8.5)) = 8.03 units

⇒ 8.03 units

Formula to calculate the volume of oblique cone,......................(1)

V =

If r is the distance of the base of the height from the center of the circle [ this is because the base of the height is outside the oblique cone]

V =

Where r is the distance if the base of the height from the center of the circle [ this is because the base of the height is outside the oblique cone]

Here r = 8.03 - 4 = 4.03 units

Volume = × 3.14 × 4.03 × 4.03 × 8.5

Volume = 144.49 cubic inches

Hence, the volume of the oblique cone is 144.49 cubic inches , if an oblique cone has a radius of 4 units, a height of 8.5 units, and a slant length of 11.7 inches.

(-1,0) and (4,0) are x-intercepts.

step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are all points on the x-axis.

points (-1,0) and (4,0) are both x -intercepts.
