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, so the radius \( r \) is half of that:

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

  • The height \( h \) 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 this value back into the volume formula:

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

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 588 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 588 = 1847.92 \]

Now divide by 3:

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

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

\[ V \approx 615.97 \text{ cubic millimeters} \]

Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately:

\[ \boxed{615.97} \text{ cubic millimeters} \]
