To calculate 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.

  1. The diameter of the cone is 20 cm, so the radius \( r \) is half of the diameter:

\[ r = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \text{ cm} \]

  1. The height \( h \) is given as 15 cm.

  2. Now, plug in the values into the volume formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (10)^2 \times 15 \]

  1. Calculate \( (10)^2 \):

\[ (10)^2 = 100 \]

  1. Now substitute back into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 100 \times 15 \]

  1. Multiply \( 3.14 \times 100 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 100 = 314 \]

  1. Next, multiply \( 314 \times 15 \):

\[ 314 \times 15 = 4710 \]

  1. Now divide by 3:

\[ V = \frac{4710}{3} = 1570 \]

So, the volume of the cone is:

\[ \boxed{1,570} \text{ cubic centimeters} \]

The correct response is 1,570 cubic centimeters.
