Answer :

We have to calculate the volume of the cone.

The volume of the cone is 1/3 of the area of the base times the height.

As the base has diameter D = 16 yd, we can calculate the area of the base as:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_b=\frac{\pi D^2}{4} \\ A_b\approx\frac{3.14*16^2}{4} \\ A_b\approx\frac{3.14*256}{4} \\ A_b\approx200.96 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Knowing the height is h = 14 yd, we then can calculate the volume as:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}A_bh \\ V=\frac{1}{3}*200.96*14 \\ V\approx937.81 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: the volume is 937.81 cubic yards.
