The volume of a cone is one third of the product of its base area and its height.


The given data must be converted to the consistent units.


So, we have base area = 1000 cm^2, the height = 100 cm.


Then the volume = %281%2F3%29%2A1000%2A100 = 100000%2F3 cm^3 = 100%2F3 liters = 33.333 liters (rounded).    ANSWER



                1 liter = 1000 cm^3.

Solved.
