To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula V = 1/3 * π * r^2 * h, where r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone.
In this case, the height of the cone is given as 12 inches, and the radius is represented as s inches.
1. Substitute the given values into the formula:
V = 1/3 * π * s^2 * 12
2. Calculate the volume using the formula:
V = 1/3 * π * s^2 * 12
V = 4 * π * s^2
Therefore, the volume of the cone with a height of 12 inches and a radius of s inches is 4πs^2 cubic inches.
