Answer:

65.94 in³

Explanation:

First, we need to determine to the shape, a party hat is a cone.

The volume formula that use to calculate the cone is 1/3hπr².

Notice: h is for height and r is for radius

Using this formula, we can easily set up the equation below:

1/3 · 7 · 3.14 · (6/2)² = 65.94 (cubic inches)

You must halved the diameter first (in this case, 6) and then square it.

So: The answer of this question is 65.94 in³
