The volume of a cone is modeled by the formula
V= (1)/(3) \pi r^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

We substitute our given values to get


V= (1)/(3) \pi(9)^2(12)= (1)/(3) \pi (81)(12) = 324 \pi \ in^3

Now, we use an approximated value 3.14 for pi to get 1,017.36 cubic inches.
