Answer:
Volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since hive has the shape of a cone with radius = 15 inches and height = 20 inches
Therefore, volume of the given cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(\text{Area of the base})\times \text{height}[/tex]
Area of the circular base = πr²
Area = π(15)²
    = 225π
Volume of the cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3}(225\pi )\times{20}[/tex]
                 = 1500π
                 = 4712.39
                 ≈ 4712.4 square inches
Therefore, volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.
