Answer: [tex]115in^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cone can be calculated with the following formula:
[tex]V_{(cone)}=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]
Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.
The radius is half the diameter, then "r" is:
[tex]r=\frac{7in}{2}\\\\r=3.5in[/tex]
Since we know that radius and the height, we can substitute them into the formula.
The volume of the cone to the nearest cubic inch is:
[tex]V_{(cone)}=\frac{1}{3}\pi (3.5in)^2(9in)[/tex]
[tex]V_{(cone)}=115in^3[/tex]
