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,
  • \( h \) is the height, and
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given that the diameter of the cone is 2 cm, the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2 , \text{cm}}{2} = 1 , \text{cm} \]

The height \( h \) is given as 6 cm.

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1 , \text{cm})^2 \times 6 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating \( (1 , \text{cm})^2 \):

\[ (1 , \text{cm})^2 = 1 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Now substitute back into the equation:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 , \text{cm}^2 \times 6 , \text{cm} \]

Calculating further:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6 = \frac{18.84}{3} = 6.28 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of chocolate needed to make a solid chocolate cone is 6.28 cubic centimeters.

The correct response is: 6.28 cubic centimeters.
