Respuesta :

Answer: 340 cm3  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:  

Circumference = 2π radius

Replacing with the circumference value and solving for r:

31.416 =2π r

31.416 /2π =r

5cm =r

And then:

Volume of a cone = 1/3 x π x radius^2 x height  

Replacing with the values given:  

V = 1/3 π (5)^2 (13) = 340 cm3  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
