To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:

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

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height, and
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Step 1: Find the radius.

The diameter of the cone is 20 cm, so the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{20 \text{ cm}}{2} = 10 \text{ cm} \]

Step 2: Plug in the values into the volume formula.

Now, substitute \( r = 10 \) cm, \( h = 15 \) cm, and \( \pi = 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (10)^2 \times 15 \]

Step 3: Calculate \( (10)^2 \).

\[ (10)^2 = 100 \]

Step 4: Now substitute back into the volume formula.

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 100 \times 15 \]

Step 5: Calculate \( 100 \times 15 \).

\[ 100 \times 15 = 1500 \]

Step 6: Calculate the volume.

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1500 \]

Now calculate \( 3.14 \times 1500 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 1500 = 4710 \]

Now divide by 3:

\[ V = \frac{4710}{3} = 1570 \]

So, the volume of the cone is:

\[ V \approx 1570 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]

The correct response is:

1,570 cubic centimeters.
