Answer: Volume = 174.71 cubic meters

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this, first, we have to apply the formula for the circumference (C) of a circle.

C= 2πr

Substituting with c=19.4 in the formula, and solving for the radius (r)

19.4= 2πr

19.4/ 2π =r

r= 3.09

Finally we apply the formula:

Volume of a right circular cone: 1/3 π r^2 h

Where h is the height of the cone and r is the radius of the base.

Replacing with the values given and calculated:

V=1/3 π (3.09)^2 (17.5)

V = 174.71 cubic meters
