Daisy is making solid spikes for her Halloween costume. The spikes are shaped like right circular cones with base radius of 2 inches and height of 6 inches. If daisy has 360 cubic inches of material for making the spikes, what is the maximum number of spikes she can make

Respuesta :

She can make 14 spikes maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of a cone is V = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] π r² h, where

  • r is the radius of its base
  • h is its height

∵ The spikes are shaped like right circular cones with base

    radius of 2 inches and height of 6 inches

∴ r = 2 inches

∴ h = 6 inches

- Use the formula above to find the volume of each spike

∵ V =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (π)(2)²(6)

∴ V ≅ 25.13274 inches³

∵ Daisy has 360 cubic inches of material for making the spikes

- To find the number of spikes she can make divide the volume

    of the material by the volume of each spike

∴ The number of spikes = 360 ÷ 25.13274 = 14.324

- The number of spikes must be an integer

∴ The maximum number of spikes she can make is 14

She can make 14 spikes maximum

Daisy can make a maximum of 14 spikes

The maximum amount of spikes she can make can be determined by dividing the volume of the material by the volume of the cone

Maximum spikes = Volume of the material / volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]πr²h

Where:

r = radius = 2 in

h = height = 6 in

π = pi = 22/7

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x 2² × 6 = 25.14 in³

Maximum spikes = 360 / 25.14 = 14.3

This would be 14 approximately
