Need help understanding volumes of cones

[Kirito123]

Homework Statement

This was a example but I didn't quite understand it, I don't know how they ended up with 565.49 every time I try I get some random other number.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

So this is how i do it.

Pi (6) ² (15)/3

So first I multiply 3.14 (pi) by 6. so 3.14 x 6 = 18.84.
Now 18.84 to the power of 2 is equal to 354.9456
354.9456 x 15 = 5324.184
5324.184 / 3 = 1774.728.

I know I am wrong but i just want to know how come when i try to calculate the volume it doesn't work?

You are squaring π as well as squaring r.

Review ' Order of Operations '.
