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:
- Height \( h = 9 \) inches
- Radius \( r = 5 \) inches
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Plugging these values into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 9 \]
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 formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 225 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 225 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 225 = 706.5 \]
Now dividing by 3:
\[ V = \frac{706.5}{3} = 235.5 \]
So, the volume of the slanted cone is:
235.5 cubic inches.
Thus, the correct response is:
235.5 cubic inches.
