Digital SAT Math Test 2 Question 6

A cone has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is the volume, in cubic cm, of the cone?
Answer:
B

Explanation

The correct answer is Choice B.

Use the formula for the volume of a cone with the given radius, $3$cm, and height, $6$cm.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from finding the area of the base (circle), not the volume of the cone.

Choices C and D are incorrect and may result from mistaking the coefficient when finding the volume of a cone.

✨ Expert's Tip ✨

Remember to use the radius of the cone, instead of its diameter, for the volume calculation.
