Answer:

We are given that the circumference of the base of the cone is 17.6in.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.

Since the base of the cone is a circle, we can use this formula to find the radius of the base:

C = 2πr

17.6 = 2πr

r = 17.6/(2π)

r ≈ 2.8

Now, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone to find the volume of the given cone:

V = (1/3)πr^2h

V = (1/3)π(2.8)^2(11.1)

V ≈ 71.3 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the right circular cone is approximately 71.3 cubic inches.
