Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the volume of the cone, so we obtain the following:

We will substitute in the following formula for the volume of a cone:


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

Replacing we obtain:


\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)\pi(11yd)^2\cdot(15yd) \\ V=(1)/(3)\pi121yd^2\cdot15yd \\ V=5yd\cdot121yd^2\cdot\pi \\ V=605\pi yd^3 \\ V=605(3.14)yd^3 \\ V=1899.7yd^3 \end{gathered}

Finally we obtain that the volume of the cone is approximately 1899.7yd^3.
