Answer:

563.5 cm³

Explanation:

Use the formula for the volume of a cone:

V = (1/3)πr²h

Recognize that the radius is half the diameter:

r = (11.9 cm)/2 = 5.95 cm

V = (1/3)π(5.95 cm)²(15.2 cm) ≈ 563.516 cm³

The volume of the cone is about 563.5 cm³.

Additional comment

If you use 3.14 for the value of π, then the result will be 563.2 cm³.
