Hello!

To find the volume of a cone, use the equation: V = 1/3Bh.

In this equation, V is the volume, B is the base, and h is the height.

We are given that the base is 12 inches, and the height is 18 inches. With those necessary values, we can substitute those values, and calculate it.

V = 1/3 (12) (18)

V = 4 (18)

V = 72.0

Therefore, the volume of this glass is 72.0 cubic inches.
