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