What is the volume of the cone? What is the volume of the cylinder? What is the volume of the sphere? At the craft store discussed above, the clay cone is $12, the clay cylinder is $30, and the clay sphere is $28. Which is the best buy? Explain. Hint: Which shapes gives you more clay for less money?

clay sphere gives more clay for less money

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone=1/3πr^2h

=1/3*3.14*(9^2)*12

=1/3*3.14*81*12

=3,052.08/3

=1017.36 inches^3

Volume of a cyclinder=πr^2h

=3.14*(9^2)*12

=3.14*81*12

=3,052.08 inches^3

Volume of a sphere=4/3πr^3

=4/3*3.14*(9^3)

=4/3*3.14*(9^3)

=4/3*3.14*729

=9,156.24 / 3

=3,052.08 inches^3

Clay cone=$12

Clay cyclinder=$30

Clay sphere=$28

Which is the best to buy

Comparing volume

Volume of sphere=3,052.08 inches^3

Volume of cyclinder=3,052.08 inches^3

Volume of cone=1017.36 inches^3

Sphere and cyclinder both have the same volume which is 3 times more than volume of a cone

Clay sphere cost $28 which is cheaper than clay cyclinder at the same volume.

Therefore, clay sphere gives more clay for less money

i think it would be 42cm
