To find the volume \( V \) of a cone, you can use the formula:

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

where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- The radius \( r = 9 \) yards,
- The height \( h = 17 \) yards.

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9)^2 (17)
\]

Calculating \( (9)^2 \):

\[
(9)^2 = 81
\]

Now substituting back into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (81)(17)
\]

Calculating \( 81 \times 17 \):

\[
81 \times 17 = 1377
\]

Now, substituting this value back into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (1377)
\]

Now calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \times 1377 \):

\[
\frac{1377}{3} = 459
\]

So the volume is:

\[
V = 459 \pi
\]

Now, use the \(\pi\) button on your calculator to find the numerical value. Assuming \(\pi \approx 3.14159\):

\[
V \approx 459 \times 3.14159 \approx 1444.05381
\]

Rounding to two decimal places, the volume of the cone is:

\[
\boxed{1444.05} \text{ cubic yards}
\]
