The equation for the volume of a cone is:
where V = volume of the cone, r = radius of the circular base, and h = height of the cone.
You are told that the height, h = 25.5 cm. You are also told that the diameter is <span>12 centimeters. Remember that the diameter of a circle is just twice the radius. Divide 12 by 2 to get the radius: r =12/2 = 6 cm.
Since you know </span>h = 25.5 cm and r = 6 cm, plug these values into your equation for volume of a cone and solve for V, volume:
------
Answer: B) <span>961.33 cm³ </span>
