[This is the stem.] Use the image to answer the question. 6 of 15 2 in. 6 in. Anders finds the volume of the cone in the image. What is the volume of this cone in cubic inches? Use 3.14 to represent pi and round the volume to the nearest cubic inch. (1 point) 24 cubic inches 13 cubic inches 75 cubic inches 25 cubic inches

To find 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 of the base, and \(h\) is the height of the cone.

In the information you provided, it appears that the dimensions of the cone are:

  • Height (\(h\)) = 6 inches
  • Diameter = 2 inches, so the radius (\(r\)) = \frac{2}{2} = 1 inch

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula. Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1)^2 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6 \] \[ V = \frac{18.84}{3} \] \[ V \approx 6.28 \]

When rounded to the nearest cubic inch, the volume is 6 cubic inches. However, since this result does not match any of the options given (24, 13, 75, or 25 cubic inches), it is possible that the measurements used for the cone need to be checked or reevaluated.

If we had different radius or height, we would need those values. Please verify the dimensions or any additional information from the image.
