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,
  • \( h \) is the height, and
  • \( \pi \) is a mathematical constant (approximated as 3.14 in this case).

Given:

  • Height \( h = 9 \) inches
  • Radius \( r = 5 \) inches
  • \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now plug in the values:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times 9 \]

First, calculate \( (5)^2 \):

\[ (5)^2 = 25 \]

Now substitute back into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 25 \times 9 \]

Calculate \( 3.14 \times 25 \):

\[ 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 \]

Now multiply that by 9:

\[ 78.5 \times 9 = 706.5 \]

Finally, divide by 3:

\[ V = \frac{706.5}{3} = 235.5 \]

Thus, the volume of the cone is:

\[ \boxed{235.5} \text{ cubic inches} \]
