V = (1/3)(pi)(r^2)(h)
= (1/3)(pi)(5^2)(12)
=100pi
= 314.159 cubic ft

The volume of air is 1/2 pi r^2 h if and only if the tepee is empty of any persons, animals, furniture ,etc.

The volume of the conical tent
=1/3(pi*r^2*h)
=1/3(3.14*5^2*12)
=314 cubic feet
Therefore qty of air is 314 cubic feet

volume of a cone is 1/3 pi r^2h where r is the radius of base and h the height.use this formula to get the result.
