A cone with a radius of 3" has a total area of 24π sq. in. Find the volume of the cone.24π15π12π

The answer is 12π.

To get the volume of the cone, we need the height. The radius is given.

V = πr² × (h/3)

The total surface area of the cone is:
SA = πr² + πrl where r is radius and l is slant height

24π = π(3)² + π(3)(l)
24π = 9π + 3πl
24π - 9π = 3πl
15π = 3πl
l = 15π / 3π
l = 5

Using Phytagoras, we can calculate the height of the cone:
l² = h² + r²
5² = h² + 3²
25 - 9 = h²
h = √16
h = 4

Therefore the volume is:
V = π(3)² × (4 / 3)
V = 3π × 4
V = 12π
