The volume of the cone is given as:

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

where h is the height and r is the radius of the base. From this formula we notice that we have:

$\pi r^2$

and that this is the area of the base (the circle). Since we know this value already we can plug it in the volume formula, hence we have:

Therefore the volume (capacity) of the cone is 18.04 cubic inches.
