Solution
Step 1:
Write the formula for the volume of a cone.
[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ of a cone = }\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \text{r = radius} \\ \text{h = height} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Step 2:
Given data
r = 6 in
h = 8 in
Step 3
Substitute in the formula to find the volume.
[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ of a cone = }\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \text{= }\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times6^2\times8 \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times36\times8 \\ =\text{ }\frac{288\pi}{3} \\ =\text{ 96}\pi\text{ in}^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Final answer
[tex]Volume\text{ of the cone = 96}\pi\text{ in}^3[/tex]
