We are asked to determine the volume of a cone. To do that we will use the following formula:


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

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height. Since the diameter is twice the radius that means that r = 5/2. Replacing the values we get:


V=(1)/(3)(\pi((5)/(2)in)^2)(7.5in)

Solving the operations:


V=49.09in^3
