Cone Monument E0218F
1. **Problem statement:**
We have a right cone monument with vertical height $20$ m.
Oliver stands $5$ m from the base, his eye level is $1.8$ m above ground, and the angle of elevation to the cone's vertex is $58^\circ$.
We need to find:
(a) the radius of the base of the cone.
(b) the volume of the cone.
2. **Step (a) - Find the radius:**
- The vertical height from Oliver's eye level to the vertex is $20 - 1.8 = 18.2$ m.
- The horizontal distance from Oliver to the cone's base is $5$ m.
- Using the angle of elevation $58^\circ$, the horizontal distance from the cone's center to the base edge (radius $r$) can be found by first finding the horizontal distance from Oliver to the vertex projection on the ground.
3. **Calculate horizontal distance from Oliver to vertex projection:**
Using tangent:
$$\tan(58^\circ) = \frac{18.2}{d} \implies d = \frac{18.2}{\tan(58^\circ)}$$
Calculate $d$:
$$d = \frac{18.2}{\tan(58^\circ)} \approx \frac{18.2}{1.6003} \approx 11.37 \text{ m}$$
4. **Find radius $r$:**
Oliver is $5$ m from the base, so radius is:
$$r = d - 5 = 11.37 - 5 = 6.37 \text{ m}$$
5. **Step (b) - Find volume of the cone:**
Volume formula for a cone:
$$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$$
Substitute $r = 6.37$ m and $h = 20$ m:
$$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (6.37)^2 (20) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (40.58)(20) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (811.6) = 270.53 \pi \approx 849.5 \text{ m}^3$$
**Final answers:**
- Radius of base $r \approx 6.37$ m
- Volume $V \approx 849.5$ cubic meters
