You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for the volume of a cone is:
V+=+%281%2F3%29%2Api%2AR%5E2%2Ah, where R is the radius and h is the height.
We are given height = 6 cm and diameter = 3 cm.
Since diameter, D = 2R, we have R = 1.5 cm.
Then you would just need to plug in the numbers to get the volume.
