Task goals
- Find the volume of a cone, square pyramid, or rectangular pyramid using the correct formula.
- Find the volume of a sphere or hemisphere, keeping the answer in terms of pi where appropriate.
- Find a cone's perpendicular height from its radius and slant height using Pythagoras' theorem before finding the volume.
