Answer:

Amount of dirt needed to fill the cone = 28.28 in³ (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 6 in

Radius (r) = 6 / 2 = 3 in

Height (h) = 3 in

Find:

Amount of dirt needed to fill the cone

Computation:

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h

Volume of cone = (1/3)(22/7)(3)(3)(3)

Volume of cone = 28.28 in³

Amount of dirt needed to fill the cone = 28.28 in³ (Approx)
