Answer:

523.3

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is 1/3 hB where h is the height and B is the area of the base.

Step 1: Find the area of the base (B). The base of a cone is a circle so use the formula pi*r^2. Plug in numbers. 3.14*10^2. 3.14*100=314

Step 2: Plug into the formula. 1/3(5*314) --> 1/3(1570)=523.3
