The volume \( V \) of a cone can be calculated using the formula:

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

where \( r \) is the radius of the base and \( h \) is the height of the cone.

Given that the height \( h = 11 \) units and the radius \( r = 6 \) units, we can calculate the volume:

  1. Calculate the area of the base: \[ r^2 = 6^2 = 36 \]

  2. Substitute the values into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (36)(11) \]

  3. Calculate \( 36 \times 11 \): \[ 36 \times 11 = 396 \]

  4. Substitute back into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (396) = 132\pi \]

Therefore, the volume of the cone is:

\[ 132\pi \text{ cubic units} \]

The correct response is: 132π cubic units.
