Answer:
65.44\ in^3

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of a cone you can use this formula:


V_((cone))=(1)/(3)\pi r^2h

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height of the cone.

In this case you know that this cone has a height of 2.5 inches and a radius of 5 inches. Then:


h=2.5\ in\\r=5\ in

Finally, you need to substitute these values into the formula. Then you get that the volume of the cone is:


V_((cone))=(1)/(3)\pi (5\ in)^2(2.5\ in)\\\\V_((cone))=65.44\ in^3
