Answer:
314.16 m (if pi = 3.14) || 314π m (if (you may want to check the math yourself, just in case!)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1) Formula of a cone.
•volume = (1/3) * π * r² * h. [Or, if you prefer, volume = π * r² * h/3 ]
Step 2) Apply numbers.
•r = 1/2 * base diameter || r = 5 m
•height(h)= 12 m
Step 3) Apply formula.
V= (1/3) * π * 5² * 12
[Step 4 depends on how you learn, and this also dictates the answer, please read carefully.]
Step 4a) IF DEFINITE EXACT ANSWER (π = π), then V= 314.16
Step 4b) IF π = 3.14, then V= 314π
I was taught in a strange way where two different methods can be applied, so the answer depends on which one you've been taught!
