draw a cone with the height and the slant height
the height, the slant height, and the radius of the circle form a right triangle
one leg is the height, 18 cm, and the hypotenuse is the slant height, 19.5 cm
the radius is the other leg and it is the unknown, call it r
r^2+18^2=19.5^2
r^2+324=380.25
r^2=380.25-324
r^2=56.25
r=√56.25
r=7.5 cm
now find the volume of the cone using V=(1/3)(∏)(r^2)(h)
V=(1/3)(3.14159)(56.25)(18)
V=(3.14159)(56.25)(6)
V=(3.14159)(337.5)
V=1060.2866 cubic centimeters
for #2 do you mean diameter or diagonal ?
if you mean diagonal, then find the diameter the same way as above and take half to get the radius
if you mean diameter, take half to get the radius and use the formula...
V=∏*r^2*h
