To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone.

In this case, the radius of the base is 5 inches and the height of the cone is 9 inches.

Plugging these values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * (5^2) * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 25 * 9
V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 225
V = 942 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 942 cubic inches. The correct option is:

○ 942 cubic inches
