The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cone is given by:

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

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height. Given that the radius \( r = 5 \) inches and the height \( h = 9 \) inches, we can plug in the values:

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

Calculating \( (5)^2 \):

\[
(5)^2 = 25
\]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9
\]

Calculating \( 25 \times 9 \):

\[
25 \times 9 = 225
\]

Now substituting that back in:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 225
\]

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 225 \):

\[
3.14 \times 225 = 706.5
\]

Now dividing by 3:

\[
V = \frac{706.5}{3} = 235.5
\]

Therefore, the volume of the cone is:

\[
\boxed{235.5}
\]
