Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cone is expressed as
Volume of cone = 1/3 ×πr^2h
Where
h = vertical height of the cone
r = radius of the cone
π = constant which has a value of 3.14
From the information given,
The sugar cone has a diameter of 2.5 inches and a height of 4.5 inches.
Radius = Diameter/2
Radius of the sugar cone will be
2.5/2 = 1.25 inches.
Volume of the sugar cone
= 1/3 × 3.14 × 1.25^2 × 4.5 = 7.36inces^3
The waffle cone is a bit bigger having a diameter of 3.5 inches and a height of 6 inches.
Radius of the waffle cone will be
3.5/2 = 1.75 inches
Volume of the waffle cone
= 1/3 × 3.14 × 1.75^2 × 6 = 19.23 inches^3
The volume of ice cream that the waffle cone will hold more than the sugar cone will be
19.23 - 7.36 = 11.87 inches^3
