Answer

$15\pi \text{ cubic inches} $

Work Step by Step

The variation model described by the problem is $ V=khr^2 ,$ where $V$ is the volume, $h$ is the height, and $r$ is the radius. Substituting the known values of the variables results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 32\pi=k(6)(4)^2 \\ 32\pi=k(6)(16) \\ 32\pi=96k \\ 32\pi=96k \\ \dfrac{32\pi}{96}=k \\\\ k=\dfrac{\cancel{32}\pi}{\cancel{32}\cdot3} \\\\ k=\dfrac{\pi}{3} .\end{array} Hence, the equation of variation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} V=\dfrac{\pi}{3}hr^2 .\end{array} Using the variation equation above, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} V=\dfrac{\pi}{3}hr^2 \\\\ V=\dfrac{\pi}{3}(5)(3)^2 \\\\ V=\dfrac{\pi}{3}(5)(9) \\\\ V=\dfrac{\pi}{\cancel3}(5)(\cancel3\cdot3) \\\\ V=15\pi .\end{array} Hence, the volume of the cone, $V,$ is$ 15\pi \text{ cubic inches} .$
