Answer:

V = 1/3 * π * (1.19 in)² * 6 in

= 1/3 * π * 1.4161 in² * 6 in

= π * 2.8322 in³

= 2.8322π in³

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, this is approximately 8.89π in³.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = 1/3 * π * r² * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

In this case, the diameter is 2.38 inches, so the radius is half of that, or 1.19 inches. The height of the cone is 6 inches.
