Answer:

25.12 feet cubed ~ 25ft^3

Explanation:

You're doing a volume for a cone.

Volume of cone formula: 1/3 π r^2 h

You have given me the diameter of 4ft

Height of 6ft.

In order to solve this, you need to divide 4ft by 2ft because we need the radius rather than the diameter.

**The radius is half of the diameter.**

Our new radius is 2ft.

Formula: 1/3π2^2(6)

Now do the exponent first, 2 to the second power or 2 squared is 4.

You need to pull out your calculator.

Steps to calculate the volume:

Do 1 divided by 3 first

Then multiply that by 3.14

Multiply 4

Finally multiply 6

Your Volume for the cone is 25.12 feet cubed
