Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cone, we multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.

First, we find the area of the base, which is a circle. To find a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (or 3.14 in our case).

Radius is half of the diameter.

3/2=1.5

We square this.

1.5²=2.25

We multiply by 3.14

2.25×3.14=7.065

Now, we multiply this base area by the height.

7.065×7=49.455

We divide by 3.

49.455/3=16.485

Therefore, if we round this, our answer is 16.49 in³.

Now you can find the volume of a cone! Have a wonderful day! :D
