The volume of a cone is given as follows;


\begin{gathered} \text{Vol}=(1)/(3)(\pi* r^2* h) \\ \text{The radius of the base r=100, h=100} \\ \text{Vol}=(1)/(3)*3.14*100^2*100 \\ \text{Vol}=(3.14*10000*100)/(3) \\ \text{Vol}=1046666.67 \\ \text{Vol}\approx1046666.67ft^3\text{ (rounded to the nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}

The volume of the cone with the given dimensions is

1,046,666.67 cubic feet (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Without approximation, the answer would be,

1,046,666.6666 cubic feet
