First, we can calculate the height of the cone using the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height (l) is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the height (h), radius (r), and slant height (l). The formula is:

l^2 = h^2 + r^2

Substitute the given values:

41^2 = h^2 + 40^2
1681 = h^2 + 1600
h^2 = 81
h = 9 feet

Now that we have the height, we can calculate the volume of the cone. The formula for the volume of a cone is:

V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h

Substitute the given values:

V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 40^2 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 1600 * 9
V = 1/3 * 3.14 * 14400
V = 1/3 * 45216
V = 15072 cubic feet

Therefore, the height of the cone is 9 feet and the volume is 15072 cubic feet.
