We would apply the formula for determining the volume of a cone which is expressed as

Volume = 1/3 x pi x radius^2 x height

From the information given,

height = 7 1/2 = 7.5

Diameter = 5 5/8 = 5.625

radius = diameter/2 = 5.625/2

radius = 2.8125pi = 3.14

Thus,

Volume = 1/3 x 3.14 x 2.8125^2 x 7.5

Volume = 62.095

by rounding to the nearest tenth,

Volume = 62.1 cubic inches

The closest measurement is option D
