To find the volume of a right circular 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, and \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Height \( h = 9.6 \) cm
- Radius \( r = 12.2 \) cm

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (12.2)^2 (9.6)
\]

First, calculate \( (12.2)^2 \):

\[
(12.2)^2 = 148.84
\]

Then, multiply this by the height \( 9.6 \):

\[
148.84 \times 9.6 = 1426.624
\]

Now, multiply by \( \frac{1}{3} \pi \):

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (1426.624)
\]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[
V \approx \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14159 \times 1426.624
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
V \approx 1496.57478 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Now, rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
V \approx 1496.6 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

So, the volume of the cone is approximately **1496.6 cm³**.
