Answer

$8,591.04


Explanation

In this question we shall find the volume of the cone as the first step.

Volume of a cone = 1/3 π r²h

where r = radius of the base and

h = height of the cone

∴ Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × (12/2)² × 11.4

= 1/3 × 3.14 × 6² × 11.4

= 429.552 m³

Each cubic meter cost $20.

1,718.208 m³ will cost = 429.552 m³ × $20

= $8,591.04
