In order to calculate the volume of a cone, we can usethe formula blelow:


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

Where r is the base radius and h is the cone's height.

So, using the given values, we have:


\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)\cdot3.14\cdot49^2\cdot62\\ \\ V=155808.89\text{ m^^b3} \end{gathered}

Then, if 1 meter is equal to 3.2808 ft, the conversion to cubic foot is given by:


155808.89\cdot(3.2808)^3\text{ ft^^b3}=5,502,138.41\text{ ft^^b3}

Therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
