Answer:

151 in^3

Explanation:

The rocket consists of two shapes - a cone and a cylinder

the volume of the plastic = volume of cone + volume of cylinder

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

Volume of a cone 1/3(nr^2h)

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the center of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

Radius = 5/2 = 2.5

Height of cone = 11 - 6 = 5

Volume of plastic = (22/7) x (2/5^2) x 6 + (1/3) x (22/7) x (2/5^2) x 5 = 117.9 + 32.7 = 150.6 in^3 = 151
