Use the image to answer the question.


A right cone shows a base diameter of 14 millimeters and a perpendicular height of 12 millimeters. A right angle is formed with the diameter and the height at the center of the circular base.

What is the volume, in cubic millimeters, of the cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point

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 of the base,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cone.

Given the diameter of the base is 14 millimeters, the radius \( r \) would be:

\[ r = \frac{14}{2} = 7 \text{ millimeters} \]

The height \( h \) of the cone is given as 12 millimeters.

Now, substituting the values into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7^2) \times 12 \]

Calculating \( 7^2 \):

\[ 7^2 = 49 \]

Now substituting that back into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 49 \times 12 \]

Calculating \( 49 \times 12 \):

\[ 49 \times 12 = 588 \]

Now substituting that back into the volume calculation:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 588 \]

Now calculating \( 3.14 \times 588 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 588 \approx 1847.92 \]

Finally, divide by 3:

\[ V = \frac{1847.92}{3} \approx 615.9733 \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

\[ V \approx 615.97 \]

Thus, the volume of the cone is approximately 615.97 cubic millimeters.
