Answer:

356.8cm3

Explanation:

Volume of a cone= 1/3 * base area * height.

Note: don't be confused by right circular cone ; a cone is gotten from a cylinder by dividing it into three parts. One from the right vertex slanted to the middle of the base; another from the left vertex slanted to the middle of the base and the remaining portion with the surface base at the top.

Going forward; base area =pi * raduis * raduis [ area of a circle; the base is a circle]

Volume= 1/3 * (3.142 * 7.8 * 7.8 *5.6) = 356.83cm3

Volume= 356.8cm3 [ to the nearest tenth].

Tenth means 1/10= 0.1; that is value after the decimal point.
