Answer:

192.92 ft^3

Explanation:

volume of a cone =
(1)/(3)πr²h

π = 3.14

r = radius ]

h = height

the base of a cone is in the shape of a circle. thus, the circumference of the base is equal to the circumference of a circle

circumference of a circle= 2πr

30.144 = 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 30.144 / 6.28

r = 4.8

Volume = 1/3 x 3.14 x 4.8² x 8 = 192.92 ft^3
