Use the image to answer the question.

To calculate the volume of a cone, we can use the formula:

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

where \( r \) is the radius of the base, and \( h \) is the height of the cone.

Given:

• Base radius \( r = 9 \) inches
• Perpendicular height \( h = 5 \) inches
• Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (9^2) \times 5 \]

Calculating \( 9^2 \):

\[ 9^2 = 81 \]

Now substitute this value back into the equation:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 81 \times 5 \]

Calculating \( 81 \times 5 \):

\[ 81 \times 5 = 405 \]

Now substitute this value back into the volume equation:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 405 \]

Calculating \( \frac{1}{3} \times 405 \):

\[ \frac{405}{3} = 135 \]

Now substitute this back into the volume formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \times 135 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ V = 423.9 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 423.9 cubic inches.
