The radius of the base of the cone is half the diameter, so it has a radius of 5.2 ft / 2 = 2.6 ft.
The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where V is the volume, π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.
Plugging in the values, we get V = (1/3) * 3.14159 * 2.6^2 * 2.5
Simplifying, V = 0.52360 * 6.76 * 2.5
V = 8.63901
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately 8.6 cubic feet. Answer: \boxed{8.6}.
