**Finding the Volume of a Cone**

***Problem Statement:***

Find the volume of a cone with a base diameter of 6 cm and a height of 11 cm. Write the exact volume in terms of π, and be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

---

***Diagram Explanation:***

The accompanying diagram depicts a cone with the following measurements: 
- Height: 11 cm
- Base Diameter: 6 cm

A vertical dashed line indicates the height of the cone (11 cm) extending from the apex (top) to the center of the base. The base diameter is labeled as 6 cm.

---

***Solution:***

To find the volume of a cone, use the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \]

First, determine the radius \( r \) of the base of the cone. 
- Since the diameter is 6 cm, the radius \( r \) is half of that: 
  \[ r = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ cm} \]

Using the given measurements:
- Radius \( r \) = 3 cm
- Height \( h \) = 11 cm

Substitute these values into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2 (11)\]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (9)(11)\]
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (99)\]
\[ V = 33\pi \]

Thus, the exact volume of the cone is:
\[ \boxed{33\pi \text{ cm}^3} \]

Make sure to include the correct unit (cubic centimeters) in your answer.

***Additional Interactive Elements:***

- The empty box on the right side of the problem allows you to input your answer. 
- Below the input box, there are unit buttons to select from. Make sure to select "cm³" (cubic centimeters) when entering the final answer.
- Options are also available to clear the answer (X) or access help (?).

**Tip:** Always ensure that your final answer is in terms of π and includes the correct unit for full credit.
