Final answer:
To find the volume of a right circular cone, use the formula (1/3) * π * r² * h. Given the height and base diameter, plug in the values and simplify to find the volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a right circular cone, you can use the formula:
V = (1/3) * π * r² * h
Given that the height of the cone is 11.1 cm and the base has a diameter of 17.2 cm (which means the radius is half of the diameter), we can plug in the values:
V = (1/3) * 3.142 * (8.6 cm)² * 11.1 cm
Using a calculator, we can simplify and find the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.
