Mainly why i need help

Hero · Answer

The volume of a cone $V$ with radius $r$ and height $h$ is
$V = \dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

Hero · Answer

There's your formula. And you are given the values for radius and height. Remember to use 3.14 for $\pi$. Let me know what you get for $V$ when you're finished calculating.

Close enough although there should be some decimals as well. You should not round off the decimals.
