To find the volume \( V \) of a cone, you can use the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cone. Given that the diameter of the cone is 6 inches, the radius \( r \) is half of that, which is 3 inches. The height \( h \) is given as 7 inches.

Now plug the values into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (3)^2 (7) \]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9) (7) \]
\[ V = 3 \pi (7) \]
\[ V = 21 \pi \]

Since \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14159, the volume can be calculated as:

\[ V \approx 21 \times 3.14159 \]
\[ V \approx 65.97342 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the cone is approximately 65.97 cubic inches.
