Answer:

V=706.85

Explanation:

Well, first of when you want to find the volume of the cone you need to have a radius and hieght. And the radius is half the diameter, so divide the diameter into half: 10/2=5 in. and you already have the height so just plug in the numbers.

Formula: V=
(1)/(3)
\pi
r^(2)h ---> V=
(1)/(3)
\pi(
5^(2))(27)

And put the plugged in formula in your calculator and you'll find the answer!

V=706.85

I hope this helped.
