Answer:

316.7 ft³

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is ...

V = 1/3πr²h

Here, the radius (r) is half the diameter, so is 7.7 ft. Then the volume is ...

V = 1/3π(7.7 ft)²(5.1 ft) = 100.793π ft³ ≈ 316.6505 ft³

The volume of the cone is about 316.7 cubic feet.

_____

If you use the inappropriate value 3.14 for π, your answer will be 316.5 ft³.
