Answer:

Hence the volume of the cone is 31384.52 cubic feet

Explanation:

We must first need to understand how the volume of a cone is calculated.

It is simply calculated by multiplying the base area of the cone by the height, and dividing the result by 3.

This is :

Volume of cone =
(\pi r^2 h)/(3)

we are not given the base area of the cone. However, we are given the circumference from which we can get the radius of the base.

Circumference =


2 \pi r=125.6ft\\r =125.6/2 \pi=19.99ft

hence the volume of the cone is


(\pi (19.99)^2 75)/(3)=31384.52ft^(3)

Hence the volume of the cone is 31384.52 cubic feet
