Answer:


V=261.80 \ cm^3

Explanation:

-The volume of a cone is given by the formula:


V=\pi r^2 (h)/(3)

Where:

  • r is the cone's radius.
  • h is the cone's height.

#We substitute for r and h in the formula to solve for V:


V=\pi r^2 (h)/(3)\\\\=(1)/(3)\pi * 5^2* 10\\\\=261.80\ cm^3

Hence, the each cone's volume is
261.80 \ cm^3
