Answer: 346.4 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The pot can be thinked as a cylinder:

The volume of a cylinder is equal to:

V = (pi*r^2) * h

where h is the height, r is the radius and pi = 3.1416

Here we have that: r = 3.5in, h = 9in.

Then the volume is:

V = 3.1416 * (3.5in) ^2*9in = 346.4in^3
