Considering the circular sector:
The arc length is c = 3 6 0 4 5 ( 2 π ) ( 1 0 ) = 2 . 5 π
Considering the right circular cone:
The circumference of the base is equal to the arc length of the circular sector. So we have
2 . 5 π = 2 π r
r = 1 . 2 5
By pythagorean theorem, h = 1 0 2 − 1 . 2 5 2 ≈ 9 . 9 2 1 5 7
Finally, the volume is
V = 3 1 A b h = 3 1 ( π ) ( 1 . 2 5 2 ) ( 9 . 9 2 1 5 7 ) ≈ 1 6 . 2 3 4 c m 3
