ANSWER


54ft^3

Step-by-step explanation

The volume of a cone is given by:


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

where r = radius

h = height

The height of the given cone is 6 ft and its diameter is 6 ft. The radius of a cone is half its diameter, hence its radius is:


\begin{gathered} r=(6)/(2) \\ r=3ft \end{gathered}

Hence, the volume of the cone is:


\begin{gathered} V=(3\cdot3^2\cdot6)/(3) \\ V=54ft^3 \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
