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, and \( h \) is the height.
In your case:
- The radius \( r = 5 \) inches
- The height \( h = 9 \) inches
- Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Now plug in the values into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 9 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 225 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 706.5 \] \[ V = 235.5 \]
So, the volume of the cone is \( 235.5 \) cubic inches.
