The formula for the volume of a right circular cone is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Given r = 19.3 m and h = 18.8 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3)π(19.3^2)(18.8)
Using a calculator, we find that V ≈ 11,712.5 cubic meters.
Therefore, the volume of the cone is approximately 11,712.5 cubic meters.
