The volume of a cone can be calculated using the formula:
V = (1/3)πr^2h
where V is the volume, π is approximately equal to 3.14, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values:
V = (1/3)(3.14)(5^2)(15)
V = (1/3)(3.14)(25)(15)
V = (3.14)(375)
V ≈ 1,177.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the correct answer is:
1,177.5 cubic inches
