6 input box

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed radius to decimal

$2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$ inches

Step2: Recall cone volume formula

The volume of a cone is $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

Step3: Substitute values into formula

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.5)^2 \times 6$

Step4: Calculate squared radius

$(2.5)^2 = 6.25$

Step5: Multiply constants first

$\frac{1}{3} \times 6 = 2$

Step6: Compute final volume

$V = 3.14 \times 6.25 \times 2 = 39.25$

Answer:

39.25
