[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The radius of the cone can be found by dividing the diameter by 2: 4 meters / 2 = 2 meters

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get V = (1/3) * 3.14 * (2^2) * 6 = (1/3) * 3.14 * 4 * 6 = 25.12 cubic meters.
Therefore, 25.12 cubic meters of sand is needed to fill the mold.
