To find the volume of a cone, we can use the formula:
Volume = 1/3 * pi * radius^2 * height
Using the given values, we can substitute them into the formula:
Volume = 1/3 * 3.14 * 13^2 * 27
Calculating this equation results in:
Volume ≈ 4,777.39 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the correct answer should be rounded to 4,777.39, not 4,775.94. It seems that there might be a mistake in the options provided.
