The volume \( V \) of a right cone is given by the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cone.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 5 \) cm
- Height \( h = 9 \) cm
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Plugging in the values:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 9 \]
Calculating \( 5^2 \):
\[ 5^2 = 25 \]
Now substituting that back into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9 \]
Calculating \( 25 \times 9 \):
\[ 25 \times 9 = 225 \]
Now substituting that back into the equation:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 225 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 225 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 225 = 706.5 \]
Now dividing by 3:
\[ V = \frac{706.5}{3} = 235.5 \]
Thus, rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the cone is:
\[ \boxed{235.5} \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
