Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cylinder, you multiply the base by the height and then divide by three. The volume of a cone is the same as the volume of a cylinder with the same dimensions divided by three.

So, since a cone's volume is 1/3 of that of a cylinder, we just divide 72 by 3!

72/3=24

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 24 feet cubed.

Have a wonderful day! :D
