STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the volume of a cone, given its height and radius. Watch out! Don't confuse the slant height with the actual height of the cone, and don't mix up the formulas for volume and surface area!

STEP 2

1. Recall the formula
2. Plug in the values
3. Calculate the volume

STEP 3

Alright, let's **kick things off**!
The volume VV of a cone is given by the super cool formula: V=13πr2hV = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h, where rr is the **radius** of the circular base and hh is the **perpendicular height** from the base to the tip-top of the cone.
This formula is like a secret code to unlock the cone's volume!

STEP 4

Now, let's **plug in** our given values.
We have r=10r = 10 meters and h=15.2h = 15.2 meters.
Notice that we're given the slant height too, but we don't need it for the volume.
That's a sneaky trick to see if you're paying attention!
So, substituting these values into our formula, we get: V=13π(10)215.2V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot (10)^2 \cdot 15.2.

STEP 5

Time to **crunch some numbers**!
First, let's square the radius: (10)2=100(10)^2 = 100.
So now we have V=13π10015.2V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot 100 \cdot 15.2.

STEP 6

Now, let's multiply 100100 by 15.215.2 to get 15201520.
So, V=13π1520V = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot 1520.

STEP 7

Next, let's multiply 15201520 by 13\frac{1}{3} to get approximately 506.67506.67.
So, V506.67πV \approx 506.67 \cdot \pi.

STEP 8

Finally, multiplying by π\pi (approximately 3.141593.14159), we get V506.673.141591590.87V \approx 506.67 \cdot 3.14159 \approx 1590.87.
So, our **final volume** is approximately 1590.871590.87 cubic meters.

STEP 9

The closest answer is 1,590.9 m31,590.9 \mathrm{~m}^{3}.
We nailed it!
