[2 marks]
4.
A cone's volume is 150π cm³, and its height is 10 cm. Find the radius of the cone.
[3 marks]
5.
Calculate the volume of a cone with radius 2.5 cm and height 7 cm. Provide your answer in cubic centimeters.
[3 marks]
6.
A radius of a cone is doubled while height remains the same. How does the volume change? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]
7.
A conical tank has a radius of 6 meters and a height of 15 meters. Calculate its volume. Use π ≈ 3.14.
[4 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following calculation: A cone with radius 4 cm and height 8 cm has a volume of 213.6 cm³ when calculated as ⅓ × 3.14 × 4² × 8.
[3 marks]
