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 of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cone,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
From the question:
- The radius \( r = 5 \) cm,
- The height \( h = 9 \) cm.
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 9 \]
Calculating step-by-step:
- Calculate \( (5)^2 = 25 \).
- Then calculate \( 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 \).
- Now multiply that by the height (9): \( 78.5 \times 9 = 706.5 \).
- Finally, divide by 3: \( \frac{706.5}{3} = 235.5 \).
So, the volume of the cone is approximately:
\[ \boxed{235.5} \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
