An anthill has a volume of 8792 mm3 of dirt. Its radius is 20 mm. How far does an ant have to crawl to get from the base of the cone to
the top of the hill? (This is the slant height, s, of the cone.) Answer the
questions to find out.
Use 3.14 for m and round your answer to the nearest millimeter if
necessary
1. What is the height of the cone? Explain how you found the height.
Write your answer in the space below.
21. The height of the cone is 21 because when you divide 8792 by 419, it
will equal 20.9 then you round to get the answer 21.
2. Now that you have the height of the cone, how can you solve for the
slant height, s?

3. How far does the ant crawl to get from the base of the cone to the top
of the hill? Show your work.
