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.

1. **Volume of a cone with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 15 cm:**
- Diameter = 20 cm, so radius \(r = \frac{20}{2} = 10\) cm
- Height \(h = 15\) cm
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (10)^2 \times 15 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 100 \times 15
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 4710 = 1570 \text{ cm}^3
\]

2. **Volume of a cone with a slant height of 9 in. and a base diameter of 5 in.:**
- Diameter = 5 in., so radius \(r = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5\) in.
- Height \(h\) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
h = \sqrt{(9)^2 - (2.5)^2} = \sqrt{81 - 6.25} = \sqrt{74.75} \approx 8.65 \text{ in.}
\]
\[
V \approx \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.5)^2 \times 8.65 \approx \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6.25 \times 8.65
\]
\[
V \approx \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 54.0625 \approx 56.42 \text{ in}^3
\]

3. **Volume of a chocolate cone with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 6 cm:**
- Diameter = 2 cm, so radius \(r = \frac{2}{2} = 1\) cm
- Height \(h = 6\) cm
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1)^2 \times 6 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 \times 6
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 18.84 = 6.28 \text{ cm}^3
\]

4. **Volume of a sandcastle mold with a diameter of 4 meters and a height of 6 meters:**
- Diameter = 4 m, so radius \(r = \frac{4}{2} = 2\) m
- Height \(h = 6\) m
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 6
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 75.36 = 25.12 \text{ m}^3
\]

5. **Volume of a flower vase with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 15 inches:**
- Radius \(r = 5\) in.
- Height \(h = 15\) in.
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 15 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 15
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 1177.5 \approx 392.5 \text{ in}^3
\]

I apologize for the oversight. Let's recalculate the volume of the cone with the correct dimensions: a radius of 5 inches and a height of 9 inches.

Using the formula for the volume of a cone:

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

1. **Given:**
- Radius \(r = 5\) in.
- Height \(h = 9\) in.

2. **Calculating the volume:**
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 9 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 225
\]
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 706.5 \approx 235.5 \text{ in}^3
\]

### Revised Summary of Answers:
1. **Volume of first cone:** **1570 cm³**
2. **Volume of cone with radius 5 in. and height 9 in.:** **Approximately 235.5 in³**
3. **Volume of chocolate cone:** **6.28 cm³**
4. **Volume of sandcastle mold:** **25.12 m³**
5. **Volume of flower vase:** **392.5 in³**
