The formula for the volume of a cone, V, is:

V = [1/3] * π * (radius)^2 * height

Here radius = 6 feet / 2 = 3 feet

Height = 15 feet

V = [1/3] π (3 feet)^2 * 15 feet = 45π feet^3

Answer: 45π feet^3

Answer:

[tex]45\pi\ ft^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cone can be calculated using formula

[tex]V_{cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \pi r^2\cdot H,[/tex]

where [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the base circle and [tex]H[/tex] is the height of the cone.

Since [tex]r=3\ ft[/tex] (half of the diameter given in the diagram) and [tex]H=15\ ft,[/tex] then

[tex]V_{cone}=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot \pi \cdot 3^2\cdot 15=45\pi\ ft^3.[/tex]
