$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=23.9\\ h=100 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (23.9)^2(100)}{3} \\\\\\ V=\cfrac{57121\pi }{3}\implies V\approx 59816.97\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{V=59817} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

now, for the second one, we know the diameter is 10, thus its radius is half that or 5.

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=5\\ V=225 \end{cases}\implies 225=\cfrac{\pi (5)^2 h}{3}\implies 225=\cfrac{25\pi h}{3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{225}{25\pi }=\cfrac{h}{3}\implies \cfrac{9}{\pi }=\cfrac{h}{3}\implies \cfrac{27}{\pi }=h\implies 8.59\approx h\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{8.6=h}$
