Volume of a cone: one-third the product of the area of the base and the height. V+=+%281%2F3%29%28B%29%28h%29

The base is a circle with radius 1.5 feet; use the formula for the area of a circle to find the area of the base. B+=+%28pi%29%28r%5E2%29

Then perform the rest of the calculation. V+=+%281%2F3%29%28%28pi%29%28r%5E2%29%29%28h%29
