Answer:

201.7 m^3

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a right circular cone is:

V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h

where V is the volume, π is pi (approximately 3.14), r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cone.

Given the height of 18 m and radius of 5.8 m, we can plug these values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * π * (5.8 m)^2 * 18 m

V = (1/3) * 3.14 * 33.64 * 18

V = (1/3) * 605.112

V = 201.704 m^3

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter we get 201.7 m^3

So, the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 18 m and a base with a radius of 5.8 m is 201.7 m^3.
