Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of cone is given by:

V=
$(1)/(3)* \pi r^2h$

Where r is the radius of cone and h is height

r=d/2 where d is the diameter

Hence, here r=5 in.

height is twice its radius ⇒ h=10 in.

V=
(1)/(3)* 3.14* 5^2* 10

V=261.66 in³

Hence, Volume of cone is:

261.66 in³
