The equation for the volume of a cone is: 
[tex]V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h [/tex]
where V = volume of the cone, r = radius of the circular base, and h = height of the cone.

You are told that the height, h = 25.5 cm. You are also told that the diameter is 12 centimeters. Remember that the diameter of a circle is just twice the radius. Divide 12 by 2 to get the radius: r =12/2 = 6 cm.

Since you know h = 25.5 cm and r = 6 cm, plug these values into your equation for volume of a cone and solve for V, volume:
[tex]V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\\ V= \frac{1}{3} \pi (6) ^{2} (25.5)\\ V \approx 961.33[/tex]

Answer: B) 961.33 cm³ 

Answer: Volume of the bird seed feeder = 961.33 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given shape of bird seed feeder of a cone

Diameter =12cm

So Radius =D/2 =12/2

=6cm

Height = 25.5cm

Volume of cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3 }\times \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Volume = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times\pi6^{2}\times25.5[/tex]

Volume =[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times36\times25.5[/tex]

Volume = [tex]\frac{20196}{21}[/tex]

Volume = 961.33 cm³(approx)

So the volume of bird seed feeder is 961.33 cm³
