Answer:

Volume of the cone is 14130 feet³

Explanation:

To find the volume of the cone, we will follow the steps below;

First write down the formula for calculating the volume of a cone

v= π r² h/3

where v=volume of the cone

r=radius and h = height of the cone

From the question given, diameter = 30 feet, but radius is half of diameter, that is, r= d/2 = 30/2 = 15 feet, hence radius r=15 feet height h=60 feet

π = 3.14

We can now inert the values into the formula

v= π r² h/3

v= 3.14× 15²× 60/3

v = 3.14 ×225×20

v =14130 feet³

Volume of the cone is 14130 feet³
