The formula to calculate the volume of a cone is V = (πr²h) / 3, where r is the radius and h is the height of the cone.

Given that the diameter is 6 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 6/2 = 3 inches.

Plugging in the values into the formula:
V = (3.14×3²×7) / 3

Simplifying the equation:
V = (3.14×9×7) / 3
V = 197.82 / 3
V ≈ 65.94

Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 65.94 cubic inches.
Thanks!
