    To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for the volume of a cone is:

    V = (1 / 3) π r^2 h

    where,

    r = is the radius of the cone

    h = is the height of the cone

    Now since the equilateral triangle is rotated about the altitude (center of the triangle figure), therefore we can say that the radius and height is:

    r = 7 cm

    h = 14 cm

    Hence, the volume of the cone is:

    V = (1 / 3) π (7 cm) ^2 (14 cm)

    V = 228.67 π cm^3

    or

    V = 718.38 cm^3
