An equilateral triangle of side 12 centimeters is rotated about an altitude to form a cone. What is the number of cubic centimeters in the volume of the cone?
The radius of the cone is 1/2 the triangle's side length, so 6 centimeters. The height is 6sqrt(3) centimeters.
V=13πr2h=13π⋅(62)(6√3)=72√3π
