The volume of a cone with height h and radius r can be found using the formula
V+=+%281%2F3%29+pi%2A+r%5E2%2A+h
a cone with radius r=5 feet and height h=7 feet will have the volume of:
V+=+%281%2F3%29+pi%2A5%5E2%2A7
V+=+%281%2F3%29+pi%2A25%2A7
V+=+%281%2F3%29+pi%2A175
V+=+%28175%2F3%29+pi-> exact solution
V+=183.3-> approximately
