Given a cone with base radius, r, and perpendicular height, h,
the volume, V, is given by
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times r^2\times h[/tex]
In this case,
r = 10ft,
h = 17ft,
Therefore,
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times10^2\times17=\frac{1700}{3}\pi[/tex]
Hence, V = 1780.24 cubic feet
The volume of the cone is 1780.24 cubic feet
