Answer:

42.42in³

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a cone

Step one

We know that the volume of a cone is

V= 1/3πr²h

Given data

Diameter d= 6 inches

Radius r= diameter/2= 6/2= 3 inches

Height h = 4.5 inches

Step two

Substituting our given data we have

Volume = 1/3*3.142*3²*4.5

V= 1/3*3.142*9*4.5

V= 127.251/3

V= 42.42in³
