Worksheet on Volume of Cone for Class 1

Solved Questions of Volume of a Cone

1. Find the volume of the cone shown below.

a) 1023.2 cm³
b) 1206.8 cm³
c) 1345 cm³
d) 1897.2 cm³

Answer: b) 1206.8 cm³

Explanation: From the figure, we know that,
Radius (r) = 8 cm
Height, (h) = 18 cm

We know the volume of a cone, (V) = (1/3) πr²h
V = (1/3) x (22/7) x (8²) x (18)
= (1/3) x (22/7) x (64) x (18)
= 1206.8 cm³

2. Find the volume of the cone. If the height and the slant height of a cone are 18 cm and 21 cm respectively.

a) 2203.57 cm³
b) 2230.57 cm³
c) 2032.57 cm³
d) 2003.57 cm³

Answer: a) 2203.57 cm³ 

Explanation: We know that
l ² = r² + h²
r² =√(l² - h²)
r = √(21² - 18²)
r = √(441 – 324)
r = √117
r = 10.81 cm

Volume of a cone is = (1/3) πr²h = (1/3) x (22/7) x (10.81)² x 18
= 2203.57 cm³

3. The height of a cone is 21 cm. If its volume is 2662 cm³, find the radius of the base (r).

a) 6.26 cm
b) 8 cm
c) 11 cm
d) 7 cm

Answer: c) 11 cm

Explanation: Height of the cone (h) = 21 cm
We know that the volume of a cone is:
V = (1/3) πr²h
π = 22/7
2662 = (1/3) x (22/7) x r² x 21
r² = (2662 x 3 x 7) / (21 x 22)
r² = 121
r = 11 cm

4. If the volume of a cone is 1232 cm³ and the radius of the base is 7 cm. Find the slant height of the cone.

a) 28 cm
b) 25 cm
c) 34 cm
d) 36 cm

Answer: b) 25 cm

Explanation: The radius of the base is = 7 cm
We know that the volume of a cone is
V = (1/3) πr²h
1232 = (1/3) x (22/7) x 7² x h
h = (1232 x 7 x 3) / (22 x 49)
h = 24 cm

We know that,
l ² = r² + h²
l = √(7² + 24²)
l = √(49 + 576)
l = √(625)
l = 25 cm

5. Find the volume of a cone where r = 6 cm and h = 7 cm. (Take π = 3.14)

a) 223.6 cm³
b) 129.03 cm³
c) 259.86 cm³
d) 263.76 cm³

Answer: d) 263.76 cm³

Explanation: By using the formula for the volume of a cone, we get:
V = (1/3) πr² h
Here, r = 6 cm, h = 7 cm
V= 1/3 x 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 7
= 1/3 x 791.28 = 263.76 cm³
