Concept explainers
One of the Hawaiian volcanoes is 30,000 ft high (measured from the bottom of the ocean) and has volume 10,000 Ini3. Assuming that the volcano is shaped like a cone with a circular base, find the distance around the base of the volcano (at the bottom of the ocean). In other words, if a submarine were to travel all the way around the base of the volcano, at the bottom of the ocean, how far would the submarine go? Explain.
