The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Plugging in the given values, we have V = (1/3)π(5^2)(12).
Calculating this expression, we get V ≈ (1/3)π(25)(12) ≈ 314 cubic cm.
Therefore, the volume of the figure is approximately 314 cubic cm.
Using the formula shown above for the volume of a cone, find the volume of the figure to the nearest whole cubic unit.
image shows a cone with the base having a radius of 5 and the cone having the height of 12.
