Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height of the cone.

In this case, you know that the diameter of the cone shaped strainer  is:

Since the radius is half the diameter:

And the height is:

Therefore, the final step is to substitute those values into the formula and evaluate, in order to find the amount of cubic inches the cone will hold.

This is:
