To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h, where V is the volume, π is a constant (approximately 3.14), r is the radius, and h is the height.

In this case, the diameter of the cone is given as 2 cm, so the radius is half of that, which is 1 cm. The height is given as 6 cm.

Using the formula, we can calculate the volume as V = (1/3)(3.14)(1^2)(6) = 6.28 cubic centimeters.

Therefore, the answer is 6.28 cubic centimeters.
