Answer:


V=\pi^{}mi^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Let h be the height of the cone:


h=3mi

and let d be the diameter of the circle:


d=2mi

From the diameter we can find the radius of the circle:


\begin{gathered} r=(d)/(2) \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ r=(2mi)/(2) \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ r=1mi \end{gathered}

Step 2. To find the volume of a cone we use the following formula:


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

Step 3. Substituting the values of r and h into the formula:


V=(\pi(1mi)^2(3mi))/(3)

Solving the operations:


\begin{gathered} V=(\pi(1mi^2)(3mi))/(3) \\ \downarrow\downarrow \\ V=\frac{3\pi^{}}{3}mi^3 \end{gathered}

The result is:


V=\pi^{}mi^3

The volume is pi cubic miles.

Answer:


V=\pi^{}mi^3
