            See how I edited your post in order for it would make sense.


Solution

The volume of the cone is  V = %281%2F3%29%2Api%2Ar%5E2%2Ah.


In this problem,  r = 8 cm and h = 6 cm.


Therefore, the volume is  V = %281%2F3%29%2A3.14%2A8%5E2%2A6  cubic centimeters.


Use your calculator.

Solved.
