Answer:

The volume of the popcorn container is
$V=84.78\ in^3$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V=(1)/(3)\pi r^(2)h$

where

r is the radius of the base of cone

h is the height of the cone

In this problem we have

$r=6/2=3\ in$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$h=9\ in$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute the values

V=(1)/(3)(3.14)(3)^(2)(9)

$V=84.78\ in^3$
